Not only didn't Jose "ride to win"...he didn't even ride to PLACE. What Chad Brown hinted at with his post-race comment was that he would have been happy to follow Justify all the way to the wire, thus securing second place. The way the race unfolded...there probably wasn't one horseplayer out there who actually thought that the eventual survivor of yesterday's speed duel would have been Good Magic.
