It's all speculation....isn't it?

He was never " lone speed ", and his connections made it obvious they were rating him, something that could have been easily accomplished from his outside post. He wasn't " taken out of his game ", he was stunned by almost going down at the start, and took himself out of the race thereafter. Furthermore, as anyone that actually watched the race could have seen, he was completely stymied and squeezed out when attempting to rally between horses into the stretch, and was forced to severly alter course and rally inside of horses, something which is very difficult to do.

The point is that somehow NONE of this was pointed out in this misguided lovefest which leads anyone who actually watched the entire race to believe that nobody involved is anything other than result oriented and oblivious to what is REALLY going on.

Larger gaps than today's have been made up when the contestants actually get comparable trips. If you don't understand that then you are doomed to a lifetime of poor wagering choices. Better for me.
