what were they going to do, Mast Track was off the rail gasping for air the final 1/16th, not like they could swing over and block what is a miracle run.

It took a miracle run for the horse to win, meaning everything went the horses way, race collapses and he gets pretty much a perfect trip to beat a 35/1 shot. Now normally its an auto play against in the next race but this horse won't be facing much at a distance I think he is better at then most. He aint much horse thats for sure.

I agree but I think even a B-list Euro turf horse trying the Tapeta in the DWC will abuse Richard's Kid.

Worth noting that this horse was a complete pig before going to the white-haired magician...now he must be getting the good stuff.

In his last three starts for Dick Small he was beaten by a combined 23 1/2 lengths in handicap division staples like the New Orleans Handicap, the HE Johnson Memorial, and the William Donald Schaefer. He was a complete failure. All of a sudden he gets three months off and is a legitimate GI horse (albeit in a horrible division)?

He was not a complete pig and Baffert is the GOAT.

Sometimes its ok to admit a good ride when you see it.
