Justify's winning margin was due to him being tired. Mike Snith was NOT trying to conserve the horse.
If he had been, it was stupid because he almost lost. But Smith isn't that stupid.
This horse is going to look like War Emblem in 3 weeks. He is at the end of his cycle. No bleeping way we get a TC winner.
EDIT: I suppose the only thing I do buy is that it is possible the off tracks are dulling his performances and he will run awesome on a fast track. I wouldn't count on it though.
