You didn’t see Giant Zinger was rank going into the first turn? You didn’t see her throw her head? She was fighting Jose. She resisted being rated and predictably settled once she got clear.
But assuming the first part of what you say is correct (it’s not)...you think Jose knew Irad was going to go from 3 wide around the first turn and up the backstretch to the rail somehow? And then he knew Montdore was going to tire at just the right time for Irad to get through, so he could beat Competitionofideas by a neck?
Impressive.
