In fairness, you suggested a wire to wire win by midnight interlude was possible, as he would be alone on the lead. That's not how the race unfolded.

Oh, I know. Naturally, I could care less now how he won. Let's face it, it's just one correct hunch(I almost retracted the wager when I saw the DRF pp's and his low Beyers; it was somewhat of a gut call due to the way things played out in the 48 hrs before the race) among other losses. I'm just reacting to some perceptions I have when some others here bet or tout a horse to win, and then watch the excuses come forth when the horse loses. How about saying, I was wrong?

It's not a big deal, I didn't bet much, but it did make more than a bit of sense. And he overcame some adversity to do it
