Must be pretty fast. A 3yo filly just won the Oaks in 1:49.09.

"We wanted to save a bunch for the World Cup," Albarado said in a post-race interview. "I just wanted him to settle. He needed this race mentally as well as physically, and I think we accomplished what we wanted to today."

Robby is like a tape recorder with his post race analysis.

Hopefully he doesnt fall asleep on Curlin in the big race like hes been known to do

No he didn't.

But, he faced much better competition.

Is Vermillion still being pointed to the DWC?

Because I asked BTW a question that I figured out so that he wouldn't have to answer.

Because, in case anyone hasn't figured it out, she's desperate for attention.

Very often it's easy to read something, too much, etc., into a race like this. You go back and forth. He did what he was expected and had to do -- I would think. I have no idea what they were looking for.

About the effort, urging, etc. -- what was this his 9th or 10th lifetime start? Who knows, he might be shaking off the rust, or needs encouragement. Nice race. I enjoyed it.
