Certainly liked the way he re-broke to come back on the leader. Master Plan caught him on the gallop-out, but they went on together. The track seemed tiring (see Sharp Azteca) and it's windy, so it was a good effort to be sure. Will be interesting to see the number.
Edit: Jock said that TS changed to the wrong lead twice in the stretch. Makes the win that much more impressive. Trakus has him running the farthest as well.
Edit #2: Thunder Snow went through the 1900 meters about 1.5 seconds slower than Arrogate, and was as wide, according to Trakus. He was about a point lighter, but still, that's going to work out to a very good number for TS. Gonna guess around a 1, which means I'm going to have to reassess my initial thoughts on the winner's chances in May.
