ritchey got permission from the stewards to gallop him out past the wire, hence the drop to the rail at the wire...which Rose promptly did...he\'s a nice looking horse up close.  We thought Razor was sensational looking yesterday.

Yes I heard them talking about that on TVG after the race, but they didnt show it. Getting a little work in after the race was over, thats cool.

The move to the rail occurred well before the wire. He almost interfered with 2nd place finisher. Why not just continue in a straight line for the additional work?

He\'s a beautiful horse and is a fluid mover. He\'s already lost in a spot you would figure him to win though.
