She truly has done enough

I agree, well said, Joe. Amazing there was no change to the order of finish.

She would've had to take out the entire field behind her. No way does Goldi go out with a DQ. I could tell they were just trying to justify leaving her up in their heads rather than place her last as they would've otherwise had to do.

I guess Steve is glad he had second thoughts about Turallure from a financial standpoint after the post draw because the photo would've been pretty hard to watch. On the other hand, nice call on the near win.

Good luck to Goldikova as she takes on new adventures. It's been a pleasure watching her run.

If any horse has really done enough, it's been Goldikova.

You would think she was on cruise control during that race going by the race call. She was in a nightmare spot behind those plugs.

Refreshing to see a horse with a serious campaign and career. Unfortunate a plug won the race. Court Vision will be a tough question on Jeopardy one day.

During the race, I just got the feeling that it was going to be a replay of Stacelita all over again.

I never once had that feeling. She looked locked and loaded the entire trip. I thought she was a winner, until she got clear and never at any point did she burst away.

too bad she couldn't be victorious again. really enjoyed her, best of luck to her in future.

What a warrior/champion she was, but to end a career getting beat by a horse like Court Vision was a bit of a slap in the face.

Wish I would've had those second thoughts

With as much as there was tied up in him in my P3s/P4s, that easily goes down as the worst beat of my life up to this point.

And NO idea how Goldi doesn't come down. Ridiculous.
