Good post Kimmeastar!! I kind of agree with you here. He won it passing tired horses and eventualy wore down a horse who is a miler at best.

But I have to say that Giacomo did the same thing in the derby by passing tired horses too. He is also by pleasant tap so distance is not a problem. I did like the way he weaved through horses going in and out without problems. He is an exotics possible in the derby.
