That was a hell of a race.
About as good as it gets. Curlin did it the hard way. No crying, no nothing, the right animal won.

SS's connections made no excuses. They had a clean trip, just weren't good enough today. Hopefully these 2 can stick around long enough to build a rivalry... and I'm not talking about in the breeding shed.

They both ran terrific. End of story. It was a head bob. They are the 2 best 3yr olds. Let's hope they are around for their 5 year old season. A great race to watch.

Great race. Great win for Curlin.
Would have rather seen Calvin not turn around in shock in the final jump. God that annoyed me. Finish. But take nothing away from Curlin. Passes and then comes back. Just awesome.

Wagering wise I would not have had it either way, as I tossed HS. But I keep rewinding the DVR and that turnaround is killing me. One one hand, a showdown in the Belmont would be a great headliner. On the other, I'm openly rooting for a Triple Crown Winner. Curlin was amazing. I think Borel messed up. Thats all I got.

Great run by Curlin, especially after stumbling after the start. I personally thought he was a toss this race. I give him all the credit in the world. I look foward to watching him race in the future. As far as SS, you can not take anything away from him. He ran very well again. Missed going to Belmont by a nose. Was he moved early? Not sure, but he was beat by a very good horse.

The execs at ABC must be piiiiiiiissssed. Especially with the Derby ratings having been up this year to begin with.

You're talkin like a bridge-jumper. Sorry you singled SS on top. I was just sayin SS wasn't good enough TODAY (go back and read it, it's clearly what it says). 2nd, both Nafzger and Borel in interviews after the races said they had no excuses. 3rd, comin around the final turn neither were blocked and neither were extremely wide. They had clean runs going into the stretch (and down the stretch). Whether SS got lazy or not, he got beat TODAY. I'm not branding one better than the other for the rest of their careers. Hopefully they both go to Belmont, or run later in the summer for many many re-matches to come. Let's hope greedy ownership doesn't send them to the shed before the BC. Just gimme that for both please...

I was at Pimlico and had a nice view from the apron...Street Sense has this race won and as mentioned above, has no excuses but those of his own doing. After the race I wondered if this gazing at the crowd was such an issue, why not throw a shade on his inside eye? Splitting hairs, but something I am curious about. Give credit to the winner, you almost never see a horse get passed in the stretch (and somewhat convincingly) and then see them surge back to win. SS had a bit to do with it, but Curlin was better on the day.

Street Sense had nothing left. Curlin didn't hang -- he motored by and tied the Preakness record. A better jock and he would have been the Derby champ too.
