That was a hard race.
TimeformUS pace figs had it
158 156 .
Baffert's horse appeared en route to 'stealing the race'. Instagrand and co. took up chase, never really having a chance to cruise at a comfortable rhythm in line with his conditioning.
Long drive. Hard pace.
Does Instagrand want to go 9F+ 2-turns?
I have no idea. I haven't seen enough yet to form an opinion.
