Very impressive victory. If you had a chance to see the race, perhaps you're as puzzled as I am re what happened mid-stretch. The replay showed that ETS was not struck by the frontrunner's whip, & also seemed to be past the shadow. It was interesting to hear Vladimir's pre-race interview on TVG, in which he said that ETS was a little short off the layoff, would likely win today, & that now that a myriad variety of foot problems are fixed, ETS is the best horse he's ever been around.
