Am I the only idiot who read the Aqueduct 2nd to have Alan Garcia go to the top with Swag Daddy?

If he did it would have put me out of my misery much before the wire.

That was a nice try to get the 4 to steal the race on the front end, but I don't get what Garcia was doing. On paper the obviously game plan to me was for Swag Daddy to be placed on the lead, I don't see how he had any other chance to win. I really wonder if Garcia bothers looking at the Form with some of the rides I have seen him put in lately.

I love Alan, but I could not make Swag Daddy.

I wasn't looking for that horse to win, but, I also thought his only chance was on the engine and that Copy My Swagger would not get away walking on the lead and almost steal the race. My point is that on paper the race shape appeared to be very different than the race was run and I don't see how Garcia planned on giving his horse a shot to win with the ride he gave.
