With the way the track was set-up in Indiana, Saturday night, the horse that got to the lead first, came home with it, regardless of ability. The first three routes, followed that pattern, and some bombs finished first. The Indiana derby became a race of who got to the rail first, and who got the lead. Wando went ding-donging for the lead, but tired because he was wide the whole trip, besides he had been over raced. He needed a break. Excessivepleasure was the only other speed with all of the scratches that occurred. Grand Hombre closed quite nicely, but the race seemed to be too short, or he got going to late. Prado took him into mid pack, and rode like he had the best horse. He just didn't recognize the rail bias that night.
