Stratton did very good considering he almost threaded a too tight last second needle and turned the horse into a pretzel to get 4th.
I thought he lost all chance and about 3 lengths with the decision to grab him up and look for a lane at the top of the stretch. If he stays in, spots did open.
Then again, if he stays in and gets jammed, he looks like a complete moron.
If this horse gets a clear trip, he is as good as anyone in this group.
