Yeah...he's adamant a regression altered the order.
I'll have to look at the films, but on the Chart a few low odds favorites appeared to back up from the rail, excepting Private Zone. If it was heavy, Keen Ice was there at times and I believe Jerry's recommendation got on it some too.
With reports of all the water they laid down and a pretty clear slow, fast, slow track it would not be surprising if path became variable too.
It might also explain, Baffert and Espinoza believing AP's action wasn't as effortless. Still think order of finish influenced their beliefs. What was said about Jockeys and size five hats?
