Yeah Ann I was there, but there was one huge difference, That race was run in sloppy conditions that one horse loved and one didn't. In addition, the winner was coming off a HUGE number in the Jim Dandy and had bounce written all over him. Frankel himself actually spoke about that one morning on the backside when a few of us were there. Even though his Dandy win was "easy" he ran a number that was just too fast on the sheets.
The sloppy track was a real equalizer and we both know that many short horses stretch out farther in the slop. You are in sad shape if you think you are gonna find one detail of one race run up here in the last 20 years that i won't know.
