Is this idea that all the top horses had been running under aggressive treatments where withdrawal was at the last possible moment and that in this race, they withdrew earlier with an extra margin so nobody would be this year's Baffert? if that is the case, then the Top horses all probably went back a little and this horse's jump up from pairing up his 2yo top coupled with a good trip was enough to get there.

It is sort of like a lasix off situation -- wish i had thought about this before the race.
