Rosario never panicked and went to a big ride, but the early move for position flattened Orb out a little bit...and he "stayed on" to finish 4th.

I loved reading this. The above is what I was trying to articulate to someone after the race yesterday but the words were coming out all wrong.

I thought Joel gave a nice ride. Orb just couldn't do it yesterday. Lost every cent every which way but oh I do still love this horse.

Thanks for your insight.
