Looked to me as if Gutierrez tried to duplicate American Pharaoh's run last year in similar conditions: gun to front, relax, finish. For whatever reason, Nyquist wouldn't relax. I read somewhere that these were trainer instructions, to avoid traffic. Given the toll of the first half mile, he ran a gutsy stretch. But there's no doubt that he's no American Pharaoh--not as fast and not as tractable.
