Noble's Promise: Did Willie Cost him at least a placing?

He was also moved early at KEE and the BC (which he completely SCREWED up). Is your contention that he can't get 8.5F?

KEN McPEEK (Noble’s Promise, fifth): We talked a lot about waiting with this horse and not passing horses until the eighth-pole. Willie (Martinez) said he felt he was cruising, so he let him take the lead at the quarter-pole. We passed the 10 horse (Paddy O’Prado) and then he came back and passed us, so maybe we just need to admit he’s a miler. But a darned good one.
