I do not understand this. A day or two before the race, Jose told everyone his strategy. If someone else did not challenge Justify early, he was going to have to turn it into a match race. Brown was not part of this? Brown is upset more that no one else went to the lead and gave Jose no choice in the matter. It also took his horse out of his running style. Two bad choices to have, let the front runner loose on the lead or take your horse out of his running style. Jose did the right thing and fought for the win under less than ideal circumstances. Brown has no right to be upset with the ride. Got to give a
to Jose here. At least he had the guts and the confidence in his horse to challenge instead of taking the other option and letting the race go with out a challenge.
