For what it's worth and I don't really have a dog in the fight, the horse in question, Altesse Imperiale, had an absolutely perfect trip. She saved ground around the first turn, saved ground up the backstretch, briefly waited for room at the top of the stretch, went thru a huge opening at the three-sixteenths, made it to the lead and hung late. Things couldn't have gone her way any more.
