Also, not as talented as AK and Shack? He flat out beat Shack in his last race, and was one early move away from being the derby winner over AK. With that slow of a pace Nakatani had no other choice but to move at that point.
And finally, the horse is bred to excel with longer distance (Mineshaft) so how does he have the wrong running style? I guess Shack's running style fits this race better? Shack was 4th in the derby and that was a shorter distance. Please have a better basis on the actual sport before you post garbage.
