Agree w/ Linny. Corinthian looked good but if 'Salt had been able to push through inside a little better at the 5/16 pole, we'd be talking about how Corinthian got beat by a decent but not outstanding horse. For whatever reason when they were three across 'Salt didn't really push through. Maybe the horse didn't like being pinned in there or the rider got cute. All I know is they were dead even then Corinthian put two lengths on 'Salt by the 1/4 pole and 'Salt just couldn't get there. Another foot or two out of Hesanoldsalt and there'd perhaps be a thread titled, "Corinthian Exposed." But Corinthian did look good and no reason he can't improve through the year.
