One of the NBC commentators asked BAffert Saturday about Restoring Hope’s odd run and he said that Restoring Hope’s only chance was to try to get out front quickly. (However, Justify was leading from beginning to end.)
The owners of the other horses think that’s the reason they lost. Maybe Justify is just a superior horse.
According to a recently discovered item, Baffert hired Russian brood mares to dance and pee on the other horse’s straw.
Thus it is called the Stall Dossier.
Could be they were all so-so judging by the very slow time.
