I hear you on the AA recovery.
I mean it was an amazing thing to see, but only real dimwits who don't understand racing think it cost him more than a length, if that.
The amazing thing about that was that he recovered so quickly!! But he never really lost his momentum and its not like he got stopped and lost all his momentum and had to start over again. Victory length may have been one more length, but thats about it.
Folks were talking like he would have won by 20 lengths, and its just not so.
