Grand Reward gets the patented Mike Smith 5 wide middle move.

Sun King only finished 3rd because Bejarano was smart enough to take back after the 1st quarter and drafts horses on the rail. He passes the dead horses in front of him for 3rd.

Dude Lava Man could have broke on top, went 51 for the half and lost by 15, PLEASE STOP.

So you don't think the HUGE move that made Durkin cream his jeans might have been the collapse of some crazy early moves combined with a that 25 and change split to the mile? The crazy thing is he did not even have to throw a sub 24 split to make the move like another closer we all know does.

The race was nice, it looked pretty, but it was not anything special. This was backup up by how poorly he ran in his next race showing how counterfeit the "move" really was compared to what people think of the race.
