I wouldn't dispute any of that - Piggott was always quick to give up once he was beaten, especially later in his career, and I could see that on the day as he eased down.
Didn't hurt the form that Salieri won the Mill Reef next time out, though.
Willie Carson said a few things about Gorytus - I recall him saying he was a proper Firm ground horse and that even Good ground was no good to him.
I saw him again in the 2,000 Guineas and the International Stakes at York - for me, he just didn't turn out to be as good as was once hoped.
