It's pretty amazing that the top 5 were only separated by 2 lengths when you consider they ran 1-1/2 miles. I wrote on my blog that it looked more like the finish of a turf race than the Belmont. It definitely made for an exciting finish. My 5 year old daughter was screaming "Come on Chrome!" when it appeared he may draw even in the stretch, she was pretty cute.
