I amnot being pedantic at all simply put Olive did not make his horse cover a straight course at all that horse moved a mile and at the time Volcanic was going as straight as a gun barrell, I have never been a fan of intmidation in an arguement but that was the 1st time I have felt it was warranted, If Volcanic Star holds a straight course while Empires Choice comes out on top of him then simply put neither one of them are in the finish and Sirmione wins the derby if they all hold a straight line I really feel Volcanic Star wins it not that anyone will ever know anyway they both pretty much were level all the way up the straight.
