Stewart Elliott blew it on a 2-1 shot, Western Mongolia, in the 8th race on 6/28 at Los Al. It was a two turn mile around Los Al's bullring turns. So what does Elliott do? He goes 4 wide around both turns, making a big move into the lead on the far turn. But the stretch is almost 5/16th of a mile long, so of course he got caught.
Western Mongolia was probably 5 lengths the best horse when you account for ground loss.
