We see this in the Derby every year. If you are the best horse at 1 1/8 miles going into the Derby, you are the horse to beat. The final furlong rarely is the reason a horse like that gets beat.
I think the reason the crowd was luke warm on Knicks Go was they automatically assumed he and Medina Spirit would duel thru brutal fractions. I don't know if there's a rider who's better equipped to sit second than JRV.
