Very much so, and it's too bad as it will hurt his career legacy. He's badly compromised by this situation as the longer the race the harder it is for off pace runners to close. Look at the dirt mile today as evidence.
Carl Nafzger was stoic about it today on the show saying your horse has to face adversity, etc., but since we don't get to see horses like this match up as often anymore, you really feel cheated by a surface we're likely to get tomorrow.
