I did. The fractions were slow, he was wide, and I think he was on the wrong lead for at least part of the stretch (which he often does), but I didn't think his trip was so terrible relative to the winner that he should have been outfinished the way he was.
I'd be more apt to excuse the performance if it was a legitimate stakes race.
If he was legitimately good on Sunday he should have at least picked up the 2nd horse.
