Street Sense would have won no matter what, but the only time Borel left the rail, was to go around a horse approaching the turn. All in all, like I said, I don't think it mattered much, but obviously the rail is, and has been the place to be for the last week. Remember the Belmont BC in 2001, when the rail was dead? Same sort of thing here.
I've tried to watch as many as I can, yes- except I spent all day in the Detroit airport on Friday, awaiting a failed connection, unfortunately. I'm just contending that this has not become Keeneland West, even though the rail was preferable there was not a conveyor-belt style bias.
