When a horse like We Can Seek finishes ahead of Premium Tap you know there was a hot pace that compromised anyone on or near the lead.

Also may be worth noticing that of the off the pace horses in that race I can't name one who came back to run well. We Can Seek got handled easily by Wanderin Boy in the Brooklyn, Sun King lost the Woodward to a horse he beat handily the time before, West Virginia subsequently lost NY bred races to Naughty New Yorker and Organizer.

Sometimes the trip can be looked at through multiple lenses.
