Yep,
The horse was really against the way the track was playing according to the Fox crew. It seemed as if all the horses winning were on or near the lead. not just favorites = all odds: longshots, mid priced, and favs.
The only horses I noticed that got anywhere from out of it were Guntown, in the third, who only lost by 1 1/2 lengths, and ...
Sierra Leone in the Remsen who lost by a nose.
And it looked like every time the jockey hit him with left, the horse would drift to the left. He hit him more on the left, then the horse moved more to the left. Even in very close quarters, the jockey again hit him with the left, which you would think get the horse moving to the right. But, no, he came again to the left into the horse on the rail, who wound up winning.
If they can get the colt straightened out; he looked way the best to me.
