Never a good sign to see a horse veering out like that.

Monomoy Girl was also getting out in the Kentucky Oaks earlier in the year, but in general, as you say, its never a good sign. She also tends to run with her head up--another sign of discomfort.
I finally watched the Cotillion for the first time and am quite flabbergasted that Monomoy Girl was DQ'd for shifting in while clear of Midnight Bisou, but survived the inquiry in the Kentucky Oaks where she made contact with Wonder Gadot multiple times and knocked her off stride for good measure.
All that aside, in addition to the Cotillion, I watched Monomoy Girl's NY races (and the Miss Grillo and Jockey Club Gold Cup) and I have to say never has there been a more shrill, forced, hyperbolic, and error-prone race caller than Larry Colmus.
