I was a HUGE Came Home fan. It is so awesome to see CP West perform so well. I thought he might get it done for a moment. I look forward to this horses maturity for the fall and maybe into the 08 season.
Street Sense looked perfect. Carl couldnt have asked for anything else from the horse today. Borel just sat there on the rail and waited until an opening appeared (inside or outside) and made his move. It was good to see SS switch leads and not lug in so much.
I was looking for something a little better out of Tiz Wonderful. But maybe this is what Asmussen wanted. The horse looked dead tired crossing the finish line and I guess that was to be expected. But I didnt see the burst of speed that I thought he would show. I hope he is OK and is being considered for the Travers.
