Default Presious Passion - Best Race in Defeat

I know the turf probably helped him along, but how can you not root for Presious Passion down the stretch? He gave his all... very game, great race...

I was rushing here to post the same thing. Very gritty in defeat. Great race.

PP showed a ton of heart and guts. Kudos to him, gains my respect and a bunch of other fans. I totally dismissed him as garbage, but what a 2nd place.
