Plenty of horses that are reluctant to load go on to win. He just didn't appear to be as good as this bunch. Certainly Einstein, on the turf at least, is a multiple Grade I winner. I don't think Cowboy Cal has similar credentials. He was put in a good position to win by JV, but he just didn't have it, today at least.

Oh yeah, didn’t mean to make excuses for my horse losing. Still, HATE to see my horse act like that at the gate.
Einstein is a class horse who can run on any surface. Nice win.
Sheesh, Champs Elysees paid 19.40 to place...Frankel horse with class.
Time to go to bed.
