You gotta be kidding me. Rosario has a hammer lock with the colt's head cocked to the right around the clubhouse turn and then checks him a couple of times along the backstretch (feet practically in the dashboard the whole way). The only reason a duel didn't develop was because Indian Firewater, open mouthed, accelerated after the opening quarter while Rosario was busy gathering up Twirling Candy. Inexplicably, the geniuses on the other horses decided the first two were going to slow and all moved early in unison into the teeth of a 1:09+ 6f fraction, essentially guaranteeing that Twirling Candy would have no late rival to deal with once Indian Firewater had had enough.
