Bribon had the visually impressive run but that's really not the whole story. Coa basically BLEW the race for EVERYONE except the winner. By not running early, he allows the winner to get away with a slow early split and, as a result, dust the field. By not running early he also takes a, potentially, perfect trip away from Mambo Meister, by forcing that one to run a lot closer to the pace early than he really wants; and eliminates any closer from winning the race. Ask yourselves this: if BRIBON is rushed early to be where MM was, where does he finish in the race? And does he make that impressive move?
