Imagine the look on Bejarano's face when Baffert told him, "Go out and let him rip from the gate. Go 1:07 and change and we outta be able to coast home from there."
How did 3 top-notch jockeys run their horses into the ground like that? What did the trainers learn about their horses' that anyone here on this board couldn't have told them? Horses don't go 1:07 in a mile race and still hang around to win the race. You don't have to know alot to be able to figure that much out. If any one of the 3 riders would have pulled his horse back off of the pace on the backstretch he would have been in the perfect spot and the race may had a different finish.
Was this race the product of the track being too fast and favoring speed too much?
