No one really ran a race that their form suggested they weren't capable of running.
I'mawildandcrazyguy, whom I sadly bet on in the Florida Derby, was suspicously bet hard early, and did finish 4th.
However, he had the advantage of racing in 20th and last pace behind the hot early pace....and while he had to due the dirty work that horses with his style are expected to (Circle around horses) the horse racing in 2nd to last, who won the race, got the dream ground saving run. He was basically a well beaten 4th, pace aided, but much more difficult a trip than the winner.
A few horses ran a little worse than expected, but everyone else in the field ran to back races. I certainly have no doubts about the integrity of the race I saw yesterday.
