Beyer thinks that Scrappy was tiring on the turn. He proped to the noise of the crowd and the whip strike further alarmed and spooked him. He has to mature a little, but hes a thoroughbred. Many times they are defense mechanism animals. He chased a fast pace. Was rating in hand dying to run and he got spooked at the head of the stretch. He had every right to be tired on that pace, but was he? Agree with your interpretation MO.

Hmmmmm 5 days? I missed his previous start it seems. I dont know if he can be ready for a top effort on five days rest, but with weight a one turn mile would be right up Love of Money's alley.
