Finishing tenth is not a race of an average horse. Even if he wasn't cranked up he surely should have been somewhere in the vicinity of the top three. Nazfger last year with STREET SENSE was believable that he wasn't cranked up and he managed a fourth place blanket finish. PYRO only blanketed the ambulance around the track.I expect more than that from a good horse.

As JJP said, if he didn't handle the surface (and don't act like that's some wild supposition), what difference does it make if he ran sixth or tenth? He wasn't asked much by Bridgmo and once he saw that he couldn't place, he left him alone. The fact that the second and third choices ran ninth and eleventh gives even more cause to laugh off the race.
