Figuring out why horses do things isn't as easy as seeing what they do. Its possible Scrappy was gassed at the end of the turn, but if he was he was full of run and on a long lead heading into it. He also had a nice stride until wrapped up late. Additionally no one came and picked him up.
Scrappy ran a fourth quarter of 25.12 (with bear out and interruption) after being right on a .46 and 1.10.4 He then ran 3/16ths in 19.90 after the incident and wrapped up when it was certain he wasnt gonna wear down or be put up over Alex. Giacomo picked up 2 lengths when clear and saving ground in the last fraction. Not sure he gains an inch but for the trouble. Is Scrappy a Belmont horse? Prolly not, few are. Is he gonna hammer most of this crop? Probably.
