Street Sense came wide into the turn then angled back in but still made up ground during his entire rally, Thor's Echo was 3 wide on the turn and down the stretch, Round Pond saved ground the whole way and got a perfect trip but the closers in the race were as much as 10 wide and still had a reasonable shot, and Invasor came 3 wide on the first turn and 7 wide to win plus Giacomo ran virtually the identical race he did in the Derby-(obviously this time it wasn't nearly good enough). Where's the bias?

It's useless.If you can't see Round Pond,and Street take off when they get to that stretch rail ,then I can't get you to see it.They bound clear(as if going from a dirt road to a paved road.)Ignore it if you want.Round Pond comes off the rail on the turn(slows ,)and then returns back to the rail(and explodes away...adios you other mamas...)
