Red Rocks got the first run and saved ground around the turns. Round Pond got a perfect pocket trip behind a fast pace with 2 contenders failing to complete the course. Miesques approval ran really well considering he passed pretty much the whole field and outkicked the kickers. He would have had probably the toughest trip of all the winners.

Isn't that usually the norm in BC races? Or in any race with 14 horses for that matter. Only a far superior horse can overcome a bad trip in full fields of good horses. There are too many good horses in the BC to let someone overcome a bad trip.
