i believe garcia had the wire and sway measured
he has worked this horse knows the track and this was not his first rodeo

You're fooling yourself. Garcia had him in a full drive the entire length of the stretch and he was staggering in the final 1/8th.

agree garcia is working him at the top of the strech and uses the whip mid
watch the final 16th he stops all urging about three jumps from the wire
i will admit i have a biased eye
ive been watching this horse since his maiden and love speed horses
but whats going to be even more fun is if he comes away healthy and goes distance next time

The factor was totally spent. He was probably short considering he only worked twice since his last race. That speed duel certainly didn't help.

I am not convinced that horse can't get two turns.

He got tired, but he's still moving very well for a horse who ran 43.41_ 107:31 (pending the Da Hoss' investigation) the first 6f of the race.
