Been watching horse races all my life. Even raced old farm nags as a kid. Bodemeister was shortening up at the 1/16 pole. IHA was still running with full extension. Bode was crabbing up.
That is not a knock on IHA. Not sure how it could be taken as such. Obviously Bodemeister was run down -- twice -- by a horse far superior to Secret Circle. Who's even disputing that?
