I liked the win by Indiano. He sat very comfortably in third and moved up and went on like a good horse to win easily. Smash came from last and passed Cal Nation in the lane to try to make a race of it and didn't look too bad finishing second. Cal Nation is garbage.
Sassy Image had zero right to win the Rooney but she did it anyway. She had to have been at least 16 back and she came 8-10 wide into the lane and still caught the runner-up at the wire. Nice win when it seemed hopeless. I believe Indiano ran faster than both of the older horse races.

It's worth mentioning the opening quarter for the Rooney was a full second faster than the males went the race before which certainly helped Sassy Image. Juan Leyva deciding to get cute with Musical Romance helped also. Nice win still, but that last quarter was a stagger fest.

Like the finish in the Delaware Oaks where Trombetta had to think Strike the Moon was a winner 100 yards out, Bill Kaplan had to think the Rooney was Magical Romance's in the late stages.
