Silver State was drifting in through the stretch. Santana switched to the left hand trying to keep him straight. SS kept drifting. Santana wasn’t as vigorous in his hand ride for just a couple of strides very late as part of trying to keep him straight and then started pumping harder again when he realized he was about to lose, but it was way too late. It cost him the race. It may have been a no win situation though. If he continued urging as hard, he probably would have won, but it’s possible there would have been contact and a DQ. IMO he thought he had won, rode safely, and lost. Hard to fault him too much, but that was a wicked beat. It looked over.
