Its almost as if he let that horse win that race. Very strange finish. I'd be furiously bummed if I needed Granny Pack for the Win.

It's tough for those first-time 2 year olds to be totally fit to run 1 1/16 miles first-time out. In addition, Weaver usually doesn't have them totally ready first-time out. He only wins at a 7% clip first-out compared to Pletcher who wins at a 23% clip first-out.

Granny Pack just wasn't quite ready to go 1 1/16 miles. She just got a little tired. If the race was just a little shorter she would have won.
