I have a hard time understanding why the best horse to ship in and take a shot at a million dollar purse was only Stately Victor, even if I had a mediocre turf horse, I would have atleast entered and tried to grab a piece of the pot. Even an european presence would have elevated this race, not sure why no one even tried, nothing in this field should have scared anyone off.

His whole advantage of the 1 hole was undone when Contreras decided to park him 3-4 wide, instead of saving ground and making 1 run. I'm not foolish enough to think, after the fact, that it would have made the difference in him winning, but he surely did him no favors at all. I was expecting a different ride and a much better effort than what was put forth.
