So you assume that because he rated well, that is the style best suited to him, even though he hung badly. Or do you believe he'll finish better next time?

I'm not saying he didn't hang. He clearly did.

I'm saying if he went out with 99 and the winner, does he then finish a clear second? The winner was much better then I thought he was, I was wrong about him.
Flashback though is very lightly raced, and maybe just simply not that good. I'm really confused about Flashback after today's hang job.

Would you be less confused if he wasn't trained by Baffert?

No. He's duel derby trail stakes placed. He's OK.
