Shanahan:
Would never want to speak on behalf of A.P. Chuckles, but he seemed to be saying that Baffert candidly admitted that the BG took its toll on SM.
The DRF chart of the BG is fascinating to me... it says that SM finished "under brisk left handed pressure", yet the final 3/8s was run in 38.91 seconds.
Also heard part of the radio broadcast; besides saying that LR was "slow", none of the commentators were very high on John McKee.
Also interesting that they mentioned that the final part of the Oaklawn stretch is uphill; Bailey mentioned this on the Saturday telecast; had never heard this before. I thought only the animals that I bet on were running uphill.
