I think that what happens a lot of times is people use the wrong word in describing how they feel about something. I'm going to guess that Kasept didn't mean that the racing itself was magical. How could he? It was average at best but that doesn't mean that the whole experience itself couldn't have indeed been magical. First of all, just being in NY can make it a magical experience. I love that place. Then being there with a ton of people having a shared experience increases the enjoyment of the moment. The day went smooth, the races went smooth, the Belmont made up for its lack of quality with an entertaining finish. Overall, the day had to go as well as it could have under the circumstances and considering how many times that doesn't happen in this sport, just to have that happen has to be considered magical.
