Good analysis of the AQU main track at 2 turns. Also, the horses were running into a strong headwind when they turned for home.
That said, Mo should have been so far superior to that field that he should have won on class. I think he's been handled with kid gloves and not made tough by hard fought races. Going into the Derby I'd prefer a colt with a few hard fought losses that a glowing record of trouncing over matched fields. Mo however didn't run what I would call a hard fought loss on Sat. He had nothing and offered nothing.
