I was watching it through the Internet with a crappy feed.

I see this all the time. Five horse fields and some pinhead almost always seems to fail to anticipate getting trapped on the rail.

It's not like this was the Ky Derby with 20 horses dude.

Yeah - and the KY Derby is when they all leave the rail wide open for fear of getting trapped.

The last year that they ran a KY Derby with a 24 horse field - the longshot winner came right up the fence and you could have driven a semi up the rail.

Good point.

It's laughable how many short fields get the fave or second choice trapped on the rail.
