Jerkens had noticed that in the previous races, the outside paths seemed to be rocketing come-from-behind horses down the lane as if they were on a conveyor belt. “It’s great to save ground all the way, but if you can get him to the crown on the stretch, go ahead,” Jerkens told Maragh in the paddock.
