Fine then. You tell me what Bailey was doing running Eddington up into a sub 1:36 mile pace in a mile and a half race? What was he going to do next? A sustained sprint for the last half mile? Bailey's a better rider than that. Servis said they had a bullseye on their back and Bailey and Solis took dead aim. You'll never see Bailey ride a race like that again. Running up into a legitimate pace on the backstretch. Total sacrifice. And if you don't believe it just look at the results. Plodders finished 1st and 3rd. Kamikazes 4th, 5th and last.
