Didnt change the outcome in the race, Noble Indy wasnt even being sent.

You’re right, Noble Indy wasn’t being sent, that wasn’t his part today...his part was to be right on the right flank of Restoring Hope for a good part of the race...the uncoupled 3 horse entry functioned as a blocking, braking ladder early on...Restoring Hope was directed out with right handed reign going into the first turn, going wide so as not to truly press Justify but to set up the ladder while Noble Indy drifted in somewhat, later to take up position behind Restoring Hopes’ right rear flank...a perfectly orchestrated 3-part machine...
Great video BlueChip, from an overhead drone cam...

While watching the overhead video, if you can grasp the idea of a 3-part pace ladder pin early on, then the entire race is totally understandable and logical...it appears to me that the team intended the Justify victory only, and the other 2 pretenders were never intended to pursue a placing for purse money...
