Of the four horses in the crazy breakaway speed duel, Read The Reserach was the second one to run back so far. Classic Point ($13.20) was the other.

What I found interesting was how Read The Research did it today, she broke sharply with Lezcano then he actually took her back (or the others just outgunned her) then stalked and pounced at the top of the stretch and held off anyone else. Totally different running style..........but effective.
