anybody see what happened? TV only showed him bolting, and Imbriale said he was pulled up. Little Andy indicated the horse was okay, but Chavez is off the rest of his mounts. Weird.

he got out of the gate a step slow.. rushed up slightly to gain a lead around the immediate first turn and then just bolted completely to the right and was pulled up..  something was just way off

I may be mistaken but does this kind of thing happen to heavy favorites WAY more than random change would suggest.

PS They say the bit snapped.
