But there's a big difference between two rabbits who tag-teamed Commentator to the sole benefit of Saint Liam and really had no thoughts of winning the race. This is speculation but Jimmy Bond likely put Tizway in the Whitney to win the race, not to soften Commentator up for Smooth Air or any of the others in the race.
