I couldn't disagree more with this statement, I said this before the Belmont so this is not a rear view mirror comment, but MTB has one quick big burst which is better suited around tighter turning tracks, it wasn't the timing of the move as much as he couldn't sustain it, if Borel had waited Summer Bird would have still won there's no doubt who was running better in the end. I don't even think Kent D rode him particularly well but just did an OK job.
