I have no problem with Servis' comments. A lot of people feel the same way. RHT and Eddington are not front running horses. If training them to race closer to the pace was such a great idea, why were they plodding along 10+ lengths behind SJ at the wire?? This was the same tactic employed when Cigar got beat at Del Mar. Mandella ambushed Cigar with 2 horses. One of them finished up the track after pressuring him from the outside, Dare and Go (Solis) picked up the pieces for the win. Cigar was valiant in defeat that day just as SJ was on Saturday. Bailey and Solis knew they had no chance to beat SJ no matter what strategy they used. Their only satisfaction was denying SJ the TC. To me the real jerk was Bailey. He had no business prompting the pace. But thats horse racing.
