Why do none of you mention the fact Pletcher put blinkers on this horse before the race??
Because as we all know, when you want to rate a horse and take him off the pace, you add blinkers. Smith should have known this and strangled him back.
Adding blinkers with a revved up crowd of 150,000+. Yep, thats a recipe for a relaxed horse.
If a 1200 pd animal wants to charge to the front, not much a jockey can do.
