Of course the Rock was a big surprise but not as big as Ouija Board last year. I was really surprised to see her go down.

Yeah, menat '03....the Rock was a lock for the most part, but I know how hard the Mile and Sprint are to win, espescially for come-from-behinders - so I wasn't as surprised there.....he was heads and shoulders the best though...no doubt about it...his turn of foot when he got loose was amazing.....he was flying past horses like their hooves were cemented in the turf course.....that finish, although not a winning one - was a great consolation for me and I'm sure most racing fans....
Oh, and Medaglia would have won the Classic at 1 1/4 miles had he not been pushed so hard by the classy Congaree...I really believe that...
