Yes it was an outstanding ride but it was made a little easier for him by the fact that Bodie went so fast that the field spread out and IHA was able to take a spot on the inside relative to his post pretty quickly. In a normal bunched up Derby field he would have to either be stuck outside (4 path?) or drop way back to get inside or use him more to be in a more forward position on the field.
Once we get final numbers I bet that this field had less lost ground than normal because of the fast pace.
