His only shot was to engage a 12-1 horse that inherited the lead with a half-mile to go when he knew the favorite would be making the last move? Grand Couturier might have won anyway, but he was hardly a much better animal today. He won by 2 in so-so time and Winchester was 7 1/4 clear of third despite the premature move.
