I understand, but at about the furlong pole, I thought Mambo was going to blow by him. That it was so close was surprising to me, and I thought it was a gutsy last eighth by Colonel John.
And I wasn't trying to make any 'distinction', as Steve suggested, I was merely trying to say that I didn't think Mambo had it much worse - if at all - than Col. John and that CJ was just as deserving a winner. My point was that I thought Mambo had every chance to be the clear winner, but ended up in a near dead heat.
