Pointman, I have to agree here. I waited all day for Antipathy in that Personal Ensign race as I did not like Princess of Sylmar's race in Delaware (nor did I like Belle Gallantey) - the blinkers convinced me that something was wrong.
So, for me, it came down to Antipathy versus Close Hatches and going 9f in the mud, I really loved Antipathy. When Irad let Joel go on the clubhouse turn, I already knew that she was going to be no better than second. Even with the strong first half, Close Hatches was rolling in the lane.
Did you see Rosario on the MSG broadcast? He did not have a speck of mud on him - he rode the horse like she was the best.
