He definitely needed that one. Check out his huge post switch and O Santos jumps aboard. Strictly the inside speed.

He figures for a good trip!
SENATOR BOB broke well, chased the lone speed winner mid-backside (-2 lengths), -1 length near the far turn (22.18 opening quarter), found a rail opening entering the stretch, gamely kept to his task to the end (not beaten badly for it all) thru the 6.10 final 1/16. Prior effort he broke well, dueled 3-wide (part of 4-horse speed duel) mid-backside, challenged 3-wide around the far turn, gained the slim advantage entering the stretch, gradually pulled clear late (6.27 final 1/16). 3-back he lacked room turning for home, cleared too late.
