The notion that Justify "would have won anyway" is simply without basis.
How does anyone know how Justify would have reacted to being pinned on the inside with his right eye covered up? Or forced to run 47 and 1:12.
Nobody knows what would have happened.
I get the "he won easy" and triple crown hero and all that but there is no way for anyone to know if Justify would have burned more energy and if so, how much more energy had he been pinned. And had Geroux raced next to Justify instead of the parking lot into the 1st turn what I just said would have happened.
