That’s what happens when no one challenges for the lead . The leader sets his own pace and when they turn for home , Cugino dug in and widened his lead throughout the stretch .
Sierra Leone has finish top three in all races.. therefore it's odd that you would think the horse was making excuses facts are the jockey is there starter and guide so it's on them not the horse if you payed attention to this video and where the horse was placed and how he finished you should be able to see that where he was positioned by his rider determined the outcome In the ones he didn't win he was placed in the rear of the pack in the ones he won he was placed inside the rear of the pack and was called on sooner to make his bid which led to wins so that shows it's on the position and the jockey not the horse.. and it's not an excuse it's an observable fact...
lol, opinions are like noses; everybody has one. How did Irad cost the race? He steadied the horse after he bobbled out of the rail, got boxed in on the rail and found a path - only Irad could find - but had too much ground to make up 4-wide.
