But that's in hindsight. Victor didn't know that Desert Boom was the horse to beat.

That sounds like the jock's fault to me. DM has been off for over a year and you send him battling for the lead through fractions like that, 3 wide?

Good tightener, Let's see where Ellis runs him next with Buzzards bay in the same barn.

He's already said where he's running him next. If DM comes out of the race alright, he will come back in the $300,000 Pat O'Brien which is a 7 furlong race at Del Mar on Aug 20th.
