Thompson even said in the post parade interview with Bailey that he was either going to be on the lead or near depending on Papa Clem and he was glad he was to the inside so he could make that decision right away, which he did. Bad news is the horse was hurt, good news is they don't have to find another rider to get run down in the stretch because the horse can't get the distance.
