I missed the empty quote. Did they think he was empty when he was running third and three wide? Did they think he was empty when he completed a mile in 1:36:78 and was only 2 lengths back? Did they think he was empty when he was able to beat Flower Alley in the Dwyer with an inferior figure?

Sure he did come up empty in the late drive, he surged and hung. Mabye they thought they had a better figure than Alley from the Dwyer and can't understand how they didn't go by. Maybe Baffert and Bailey need a few pointers on saving ground in a very competitive race.
