I obviously read the pace wrong, however, watch the head on and see the start Big Drama gets. It isn't horrible...but he gets pinched between horses and then veers towards the rail. It potentially cost him an early length to MP and any chance of going to the front. Once MP got in front early, Coa had no other choice but to lay off. That may have been the plan all along but they were obviously playing for 2nd if it was.
