Please explain to me, how he wouldn't have run just about the same figure with that same trip in the Cigar.
Would the "class" of Midnight Lute ... who would have been well behind him .. somehow slowed Commentator down??
Think this one through.

Not that this necessarily refutes your argument, but when is the last time Commentator won a stakes race against open company, much less a Grade I? I really don't know the answer to that off the top of my head, so someone please tell me.
I suppose it's fair to say he would have won under the exact same conditions, but if you can make that argument for Commentator, you can probably make it for a few other horses currently in training.
