That was a very interesting ride by Castelano - took No Biz wide the entire trip and brings him in to get shut down in traffic going into the stretch run
EDIT: was going through some notes and remembered a thread started a week or two ago about this type of turf style - Steve added that "Velasquez told Tagg after getting off Nobiz post-BC Mile, that the colt was uncomfortable down inside and he couldn't get run until he got him in the clear on the outside entering the backstretch"..
So I guess the early running style most likely was a result of jockey instructions. Peculular the way No Biz was drawn into the mix, behind a wall of fading speed horses that were already coming back when he still had a clear path outside
