Watched it on your You Tube link. Great Race even all these years later. I never see the slightest impediment for either. What I see is Valenzeula riding SS hard after Goer makes what today looks like a premature move. Easy Goer was actually a faster horse at any fraction, but I knew that before the Classics.

Once again on the check I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

When you look for fractional accelleration note Goers first pass of SS. Goers last quarter or so in the Belmont or Goers charge in the Classic.
Good Horses both, one could go further and was more explosive is all.
