Tap It Rich was bothered by Brother Soldier, who was rank early, into the turn. That's what drove him wide. When he straightened onto the backside, he really wanted to go but Smith had him under a tight hold. Ran evenly after that. They say he's just stupid as opposed to studish.

Don't know what to think the margin of win was impressive but Stevens was getting at him pretty good and early on as well. It wasn't if he won under a hold after only a reminder or 2. Was Bayern getting lazy or did Stevens really have to work to get the run?

I understand that the pace was slow but the two horses that were going to be pressuring him attempted to do so early in the race.

Bayern is a good horse. Slow fractions or no. It's not like this crop is spectacular.
