The 1-2 finishers largely dominated the race on the front end.
Tacitus made, albeit an unthreatening one, the only real off the pace move in the race. He also did this off a 90+ day layoff which included a pit stop in Dubai after racing in Saudi.
Tacitus is a good, but unlucky horse. He also finds himself at the mercy of the race flow too frequently. There’s a major race out there with his name on it in my opinion.

Tacitus always has an excuse.
And at some point, horses that always have an excuse need to be treated as chronic losers and dropped in class.
