It is great to have a rider back that is at least interested in being aggressive.

Overbet is subjective, but there's no way to me he was 1-2 on paper. That doesn't diminish from his performance by the way.

I agree with your second point, but I found it funny how the race was ridden.

On paper stretch out or not the 1 did not figure to be anywhere near the lead. Especially gunned into the pace the way he was. I'm not sure how this is even debatable? For what its worth, I love Lezcano.
