I dont think IC ran a bad race but if he had a bit of trouble or had to lose any ground he gets beat 10+ lengths. The pace was an obvious factor and it prevented him from having a legit chance to win or even run closer but I dont know that I am as high as Andy is on him. Though rooting for Shug is a lot more palatable then some of my other contemporaries.
After watching it again, the winners race may wind up being more of a mirage than a sign of things to come.
