You're right Morgan. It's only bad luck that kept us from cashing our tri tickets. Bwana Charlie was five horses wide on the turn and ten wide when nine horses to his inside either backed up or lugged him out nearer the parking lot than the rail. Still he came a runnin' to almost get the show. One could argue if he saves even half the ground he lost he gets second. The width of his trip is currently playing in the theatre of the absurd.
"Only five lengths separated the first nine finishers under the wire. Kela ran well closing for second and the unlikely Bwana Charlie may have run even better getting up for fourth."

It's all a moot point now, I know. But take solace in the fact that we did spot a huge performance coming from a long shot.
