Then maybe you shouldn't have picked outperformance. Barbaro wouldn't have destroyed these, although I think he would have won. The time was too impressive for anyone to have destroyed Showing Up. Moot point though. Watch the gallop out, Showing Up had a ton left in the tank.

Who the heck cares what a horse who will never race again(Barbaro) "would have" or "wouldnt have" done? You may as well bring Secretariat into this and theorize how he would have done? Who cares?

The fact is Showing Up ran huge yesterday. He was the only one who could pass the pacesetter who almost speed popped this entire field.

Kip should have been the third choice in the betting. The ML had him at 9-2 or somthing like that. His huge place price was a result of the huge money bet on Lewis Michael in the place pool. In my opinion, Showing Up, Stream Cat, and KD should have been the three top choices. Don't know where the Lewis Michael crowd came from.
