While, having that far outside draw with a short run to the first turn isn't ideal, the best horse should be able to overcome it.
HS was reportedly sick between this start and his last start---and, as I figured going in, he would be taken out of his game tactically today. Even with legit excuses like that, running off-the-board in a race like that is a letdown, when you consider all the hype surrounding this horse.

I just watched the replay again and he doesn't appear to be moving very well, either. I hope nothing is wrong with him.
