brian you too - tell me what you saw that makes you think differently

Well first of all they werent tearing it up on the front end 3/4s was in 13 and change and he still ended up sub 150 for the 1 1/8. Final 3f in 36.

I also dont think he had the best trip. Down the backside he wasnt clear on the outside, he was between horses with all type of dirt being kicked in his face. And with the slow pace in front of him it took Coa about 3 pumps and he had the leaders collared 3 wide at the head of the stretch. No other horse made a move like that in the race.

And finally if you watch the horse through the stretch I couldnt help but think if he was motoring like that in the stretch of the Derby aint nobody catching this horse.
