There was seemed to be a lot of post saying that if Bode was able set a reasonable pace and he didn't bounce, he was pretty close to a lock. There was even a poll on him. He got the pace he wanted and I don't anyone would say he bounced, but he didn't win. It was another case where a horse who the front runner last out was favored over a horse that beat him. These pop up quite a bit during the year and usually the front runner loses. But thankfully, they keep betting the front runner. They keep me from having to reloading my twinspires account.
