Ive watched the race a few times and i can only see weekend hussler 3 wide from the 800 to about the 500. Pompeii Ruler to my eye was taking a fair amount of ground off the champ untill it got a fair check, then once he rebalanced was taking more ground off the hussler all the way to the line. I dont see in the race how he easily held P.R. watching the replay here http://www.horseracing.bigpond.com/ if there is another one showing the run differently please point it out.

By the way im definitely not bagging the horse, i dont know how anyone can. I just saw the run very differently.
