I thought it might come back faster too. All the dirt races were slowing down big time. The filly sprint went about the same as the boys, which was a surprise.

A couple of comments on the chart.

Audible closed very well, and was very surprised to see him in 12th early on. A more forward placing and he has something to say about the outcome. He looks the biggest threat to Justify, and would love to see him try the Preakness.

My Boy Jack closed well too, but Hofburg was best of all. Made up 9 lengths from the last call to the line. Chart also has him steadying twice (which stings a bit). Another we will hear from at Travers time.
