I assumed some of that was the left handed whip. I saw something from the side, but I wasn't sure right away what had caused Real Solution to end up slipping back a bit. It looked like he was gonna go by at first. When they ran the head on, it was a 'ooooh, yup, DQ.' It wasn't just bumping, it was The Apache deciding that the middle of the track was really where all the cool kids trying to avoid the whip were going.

Makes POE look even better. He re broke and ran away from Real Solution last time.

Optimizer finished second in that race and then finished a weakened 5th in the Man O War. I believe Real Solution would have beat POE in the Manhattan if it weren't for the yielding surface.

Real Solution is a very nice horse, but he's no Point of Entry.

Has one sire's progeny ever won three G1 races on the same day before Kitten's Joy did it yesterday?
