My question is, "Is he really that smart?" or did it just turn out that way this time?

I think Calvin thought the 12 would drift out, as tiring horses usually do, but when it didn't he made a quick move around it and then ducked inside the 3 back to the rail.
Also, down the backstretch when Calvin dropped to about 6th, those other horses, especially the 3, had a chance to get on the rail but didn't try.
Either they just don't get it or have no balls. Calvin gets it and has got the balls to do it. He also has an uncanny ability to anticipate what's going to happen in front of him.
