Go back and watch the replay..was used hard the WHOLE race....even at the end he was being pushed....that race took a ton out of him....todays result pretty much solidifies that fact....

The horse should now be retired.....end of story

I think you are probably right that the race took much more out of him than they thought.

Ellis is normally very good at being able to tell how much a race took out of a horse. But he is not perfect. He makes mistakes sometimes. That race may have taken much more out of DM than he thought.

But overall Ellis is very good at being able to tell how a horse is doing and spacing their races properly. That is why his win percentage is so high.
