5/5: Churchill-Derby Day (Carryover)

Great and very logical analysis Steve. Makes sense that tiring horses would bear out. Looks like Pino could have solved that problem by hugging the rail with Hard Spun, but I guess he is such a massive horse and probably was tiring and therefore bearing out some too that it was not possible. However, it happened, it was great to see Calvin Borel win. Maybe hugging the rail was part of his repertoire, but not all riders seem to know how to pull it off. A lot of people seemed to hate Bailey, but he was one that was able to do it on a regular basis.

Street Sense went to the outside of Hard Spun and then ducked down towards the rail. He was in the 2 path for about 6 gallops.....
