(Given the choice of Saez, Lanerie, or Albarado, I would have taken Saez, so there are plenty of others to kick out first! Also, from the jockey race earlier in the meet, Saez's physical conditioning is second to none.)

I don't know what to say Scott, on paper Wildcat Red projected to sit right behind several that had speed, the 1, 5 and even the winner. Why, particularly after the break, he was pushing that horse all out when it seemed that Rosario was going to press the 6 is just inexplicable to me. It was an awful ride and decision making, what in hell was he thinking?
