As far as Bejarano's comments, I suggest you watch the race carefully, as they don't seem wholly reliable. He wanted to get the horse outside ( understandable ) and as he said the horse wanted to go inside and basically he was left with no choice.
Please....just watch the race.

Just watched it. I see where he "steadied," and I agree, not much there... it was more of a hesitation as you described it. CQ certainly seemed comfortable coming up the rail. Let's not nick-pick words, but I wasn't making "claims" and didn't say 'steady TO find room', I said "steady and find room." HOWEVER, based on what I saw, CQ wasn't lacking room to get through, he just had to take the rail route to get there. More than anything, CQ showed he's fine dealing with traffic and getting dirt in his face.
