That's the way I see it as well. The leaders basically fell back to him.
The splits also illustrate this:
24.50, 24.36,
26.14, 12.94
I highly doubt he gets that 1.78 second break in the Derby 3/4 to mile split. Some suggest the horse fits the turf mold better and perhaps fitting he gets a top turf rider. Ultimately, he's a reluctant toss from the exacta and possibly the trifecta for me.
