WOW Indeed! What a great race! This one and The Tampa race were the best in the 3 year old campaign this year. Curlin was the best and you could see after the race he ran his heart out! Love to see dogfights like that in the stretch.
Don't think it really mattered in the end, but being a Hard Spun fan I was bummed out when Pino moved him when he did- all week long he was talking about being patient, but when the time came he pulled the trigger too soon. Like I said though it probably didn't matter- there were 2 better horses in the race.
Don't know if any of the top 3 should go to the Belmont at this point ,but we'll see.
