It's amazing that Velazquez didn't say anything about the braid bead in the post race ...
Quote:
Quality Road ran six furlongs in 1:11.92 and appeared to be holding Musket Man and Haynesfield at bay. But coming into the stretch, Velazquez said he was “in trouble” because he felt Quality Road was “just going through the motions.”
“He was never grabbing into the bridle, which was strange for him,” Velazquez said

While you were looking every which way but straight ahead .. your horse was getting slapped in the eye over and over by a plastic rock while going almost 40MPH.
