Beazley,
You can watch the race head on and from other views. They are all over the internet.
The bumping was as real as the boogey man and the loch ness monster.
As for being "looked in the eye", TGJB sort of hinted at this in his post, but said "another day". I don't doubt that being hooked by Frosted took something out of the horse. But since when in this horse's PPs does Frosted have the high cruising speed that it would have taken in prior races to sidle up alongside AP. Watch the replay, Lezcano didn't exactly whip his horse to go on a suicidal attack. He asked for some speed, but the "A game" of AP would normally have been too quick for Frosted to make that move. His high cruising speed that previously had broken the backs of other contenders, wasn't there.
Sort of chicken and egg. He lost because he got hooked early. Or he got hooked early because he wasn't the same horse (bounced or regressed)
