I did. After those fractions I was sure he was cooked when he got headed. The horse has already shown this before. This was just visually impressive. He did not give up in the Derby either, but Street Sense seems to appreciate close races.

If you watch the replay, you will see the only reason the race was so close was because Hard spun raced on the wrong lead the whole way down the stretch..nice ride by Mario not to panic and get him to change leads..when he did it was over.
