Sad that Willie couldn't get the money. Noble's Promise ran better than the fifth best race. Stating the obvious, but these are bad horses.

Moved too soon in the Dixiana.
Moved too soon in the BC.
(Probably) Moved too soon in the Rebel.

And, moved too soon today.

MCPEEK is just a clown.

As for Willie --- 3 of these are his. The only 'sad' thing is his riding.

As much as I'd like to see Willie do well I couldn't agree more. He simply has moved too soon with this horse almost every race.

It's a shame Talamo used up Sidney's Candy to get to the front early. That horse had no chance after that.

I suppose so. Maybe the horse had no chance simply after drawing the 20 spot.

SC looked freaked out before the race and ran like it. He'll bounce back.

And now Borel just announced that hes winning the Triple Crown HAHAHA
Seriously? He was the only one remotely near the pace who didn't finish up the track. He was 3-4 lengths off a fracturing pace, made the lead and faded a bit in the last furlong. He ran a hell of a lot better than Ice Box did with the parasitic second.

Parasitic? If that was a trip for a horse who capitalized on circumstance then I'd hate to see what would have to happen to a horse for you to think he encountered trouble.

He may have had traffic trouble, but the race still fell apart into his hands. Everyone in front of him was gasping for air in the stretch.

He may win the Preakness (I hope he does), but there's no way in hell he's getting 12 furlongs.

His past performances take precedence over his breeding IMO. He hung badly in the AR Derby and got his last quarter yesterday in about :26.55.
