You were wrong about Street Sense, but you are right that Hard Spun ran an incredible race.

Sedgefield also ran huge. Also how good was Curlin? Not bad for his fourth start.

Street Sense was the most obvious winner to me, but since this is the CROW thread i should mention that in my quest for big odds I was trying to get Domincan into the trifecta, sadly he didn't get there. No thanks to Great Hunter who leaned on him almost the entire race, and cut him off entering the turn. If that didn't happen he might have had a shot at third.

Also, what about Imawildandcrazyguy. Anyone see where he came from?
Holy smokes, it looks like he passed 17 horses in the stretch.

I think he did... he looked like he was closing like a freight train.

Nakatani hurt more than Dominican. He hurt himself and some others. I have rewatched parts and Nakatani makes a great effort to get closer to the inside and once he is close and has an opening he goes outside around the 1st turn. But Great Hunter was pressed against other horseflesh from almost every little piece I can see him in.

I thought Sedgefield was a joke and he ran well.

Not that I disagree but isnt all the complaining about leaning on, bumping, and getting cut off,just a product of not having enough horse to avoid these problems. SS is always credited with a perfect trip. The hole was there for any horse that could take it and Calvin had enough horse to take it. If this horse wins because of luck, he sure does show a lot of tallent to go along with it. Maybe if some of the other colts had more talent there luck would change
