I love Notional but there is nothing surprising about a horse that just ran huge at six furlongs flattening out in the end of a seven furlong race. The distance could have done him in as much as anything and the previous race certainly could have taken a lot out of him. Very hard to place the blame on the cushion track especially when he loses to a $2 million horse and another very nice horse in Dillemma. What happened to Circle the World is a much better argument against Cushion Track than Notional.
