Da' Tara seems to need a lot of things to go his way in order to win a race. He got to jog for the first mile in the Belmont, which allowed him to stay in front of the come from behind horses. When pressed on the pace, as he was in the Jim Dandy and the Travers, he fades at the end. He does have one thing going for him-he beat Big Brown in the Belmont.
