He wasn't 3-5 wide almost the entire trip.For the slow ones,I give you the man's words once again(damn shame it is necessary.)


Nakatani said he wanted to stay on the rail as long as he could but once leaving the backstretch had no choice but to angle out and go after the leaders."On the turn I had so much horse that if I had stayed on the rail much longer................"


I have written this so much,but you are simply not able to comprehend that he rode the rail until he got to the turn.It is a given.O.K.? He was not 3-5 wide almost the entire trip.I have put stuff on here that is obviously not being read.So,f it.
