I don't think anybody ran well. I don't think Angara ran anything close to her best today. She beat Argentina by a nose. Argentina hasn't run a good race in this country. she is now 0 for 5 in this country. If a filly like Shining Energy(at her best) was in that race today, I think she would have won by open lengths.

I'm a huge Shining Energy fan, but a win by Angara today proofs that she still has it. I love it when a horse like her guts out a win like that. Too many horses give it up, like Lady of Venice did today. Horses that know where the finish line is and do everything in their power to get there first are the types of horses I love to see run.
