Well, Music Note domintated. Didn't expect to see her on the lead a half mile into the race and when I thought IB was going to run by her, she had other ideas and won off with extreme ease. Did not see that one coming. Congrats to Godolphin.

For real. That Euro had no workouts on US Soil and had only 1 maiden win to his credit. He was dead last coming off the turn on Soft Ground with a pace slower than grandma.

Win or lose, that was a huge effort by Vineyard Haven.

Oh yeah, he's gotta come down.

No way. Garcia even got off him knowing there won't be any picture today. Too bad, I had him too.

Yeah it's too bad, he would have won IMO, he wasn't letting Candyman go by without a fight. It was the right call for a change by these stewards. Trust me I've been on the wrong end of many of their calls, this one was a good call.
