Can someone (with more replay expertise than me) tell me what happens with Bravazo in the 2nd turn of the La Derby? I've seen the pan shot several times. As they are in the second turn, the pan shot hides the horses for a few seconds as they are behind the trees the camera is picking up.
Before disappearing behind the trees, Bravazo is making his usual dream trip move as he often does even if he isn't as good as his competition. As they emerge, Givemeamint begins to move inside of Bravazo and suddenly Bravazo is checked (sharply pulled on) by Stevens and then Gary re-engages several strides later but by then the chances are over for this colt.
Did Givemeamint come over on him? I could not see it in the pan shot if that is what occurred but just very curious what happened. I know Bravazo has very little chance in the Derby. But I'm curious for my notes if others have insight into what transpired beyond the check (Why did he check?) Maybe it is clear to others that Givemeamint came out but I just don't see it in that shot. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
Here is the link to the pan shot if you are interested.
