One little detail I haven't seen posted here. Geroux noted that his mount is an extremely aggressive horse. So when he was rushed up to gain a forward position he became rank. That was, in large part why he needed to moved out wide. He didn't want to run up on Justify.
Most surprising to me was hearing John Velazquez say Noble Indy was unable to make the front. That is he couldn't run fast enough. He'd have to have gone 10 wide early?
Lastly, the pace was a couple of seconds faster than the Brooklyn and about 1/2 second overall. In the Brooklyn the place horse War Story routinely runs -3's. I don't agree with the notion of a pedestrian pace.
Yes Geroux's account seems ???
