Maybe it's just me, but regardless of what I might think my horse might do, I don't think I'd jump in with both hands and feet in a 5F turf race with a large field, especially on a day when you have the world's best trainers having prepped their horses for the biggest stage in the game. Stormy Liberal ran back to the number he consistently ran earlier in the year, and did it off a layoff, pretty much like he did the year before. Richard's Boy ran the best number in the race, but he simply got back to the top, albeit on relatively short rest, he ran twice earlier in the year. It was close to a blanket finish. The horses were clearly ready to run at their top levels, but looking at the sheets of other horses that really guaranteed nothing unless a few others backed up, which they did. We're always looking for the boogeyman under the bed. Sometimes, it would be nice if our go-to response was to acknowledge good training efforts, particularly when there's nothing too extraordinary about how the horses had run. If somebody made a big score on this, they pretty much did it by the skin of their teeth.
