Like Jim said- he was sitting about sixth or seventh on the rail for most of the race then at the turn got passed by a few horses and was boxed in. . . By the time he found room he had a lot of ground to make up. . . So Samyn tries to swing wide- oops, no room. . . then he tries to come up the rail- nope, and he finally angles Bold Hawk away from the rail for clear running room with virtually no time left to make up the lost ground. . . This horse need to make an outside move to really get going and Samyn never gave him a chance to do that until it was much too late. . .
