Bill? Ed? Don't abandon me!

Is it down to Sweet Orange and Fay Fay? Am I nuts for thinking Smart Giant has a chance? I'm so bummed Darren isn't there to ride him.

Nice that Real Specialist made it in and how cool is that to have Felix back for the day (and Fallon!)?!

Interesting too is seeing Brett take the Same World (same owners as One World) mount. I mean isn't it???
