I was having the JV argument with some friends. I was comparing it to RA's losses earlier this year where the fastest horse winds up running too slow and isn't sure what to do. QR at 48 or so is really not his game. His splits are typically way faster than that, no? I think going slower, while it would seem to compromise the finish, works against this type of horse. I think they were concerned about getting caught, wanted something left for the finish and wound up not being ahead enough. Not a bad ride for sure, just didn't work out as they had planned. All IMO. MM would have a hard time passing these too.
