It's funny how so many people have a vivid memory of this race. I also remember it because I was tracking Festin most of that season and also bet him in the race, believing that his form was peaking. It was serendipitous that the pace scenario also set up for him, making it an easier win than many anticipated.
Based upon what I remember of the horse's season, I think that Jerry is right. This was the peak and it was downhill afterwards. He continued to run well, but not AS well.
As a breeder/owner it seems clear that these are not machines earning numbers. We have to deal with stifles, ankles, knees, hocks, you name it, from week to week. Only rare horses maintain the same form for lengthy periods because of their nagging aches.
Festin could very likely have gotten messed up or 'loosened' up in any number of joints in that race...no serious injury, but more of an aging, wearing down kind of thing.
All in all, it's a far more real life explanation than assigning a tea leaf analysis to the horse's numbers.
