Also note that Ride On Curlin (3rd behind Havana & Honor Code in the Champagne) was a non-threatening 3rd as the even money favorite in the Street Sense..
At Belmont, note Mansion House 3rd in U.S. debut in Awad. Was 3rd behind Wilshire Boulevard in G3 at Curragh last.

Ride on Curlin's performance likely upgrades Havana's Champagne win, as he was the lone speed to survive, while Honor Code and Ride on Curlin came from last and second to last. As for Mansion House, there are very few riders that would have lost with him yesterday...not that a win would have flattered Wilshire Boulevard. I also think it may be a bit of an apples and oranges comparison.
