After a lot of analysis, here is what I've come up with......

First Hard Spun's race.....not much else to say other than he got a horrible ride....I think the whole camp talked themselves right into that high cruising speed theory and Pino just let him go and thought as long as he wasn't riding him, he would have plenty left in the tank because he was just "cruising"....well he was toast at the top of the stretch...I think it's time for the connections to re-evaluate some things because he is a very nice horse....

The race that Curlin and Street Sense had is something that HBO documentaries are made of....The post Derby ride with Nafziger and Borel....the friendship between Borel and Albarado....the story of Curlin's connections and how they got there....and then the race.....Curlin almost goes head over heels at the kick....the blistering pace.....Borel and Street Sense pulling off another rail skimming move on the turn....Street Sense blowing by Curlin at the top of the stretch...Borel running out of goggles....Borel looking over his right shoulder and much to his amazement, Albarado and Curlin are bearing down....and then the wire.....What a race!!!
