Yea, he dipped a bit.
There was contact in deep stretch.
Gallop out was fine. Returned to stand next to winning stablemate after the race.
No visible signs of concern from Jockey or grooms.

nobody cares, but it's PAPRIKA not pepper. Typo
I missed that
!
took a
long look at him, because of the owners being a top client.
his busy 2yo season + the 23/1 disrespect in the Smarty Jones turned me off.
was considering 5,9 as a duo to use underneath and tossed the 9.
I was too lazy to watch his last three races and to go through the charts and fully handicap him.
His Iowa Derby (
and his price today) was good enough to consider as a long shot 'include'. I wouldn't have used him to 'Win'.
Guessing Asmussen wasn't exactly worried about the Stewards Inquiry, but would have been happy to see Kirk and Judy Robinson rewarded with G3 long shot.
