Barnes said he and Bejarano, after watching earlier dirt races, realized Cupid needed to break on top and find the best part of the track.
"The obvious thing to tell Rafael was to work his way out to the three-path, which he did," Barnes said. "He eventually went to the four- or five-path, but (Cupid) looked like the top horse in the race. If they beat us, they'd have to come and get us."
