Either a superhorse or a supertrainer. Not sure which I believe these days.

I think that inside lane had an advantage. We saw it 3-4 times in two days. The horse on the rail was able to keep running. The horses trying to pass all seemed to be 3 wide or better and floundered in the last 1/16th. Horses that showed turn of foot with an 8 th to go suddenly stopped gaining in the last fifty yards or so.
