DrugS was right....SS got by the winner...and hung. Even Calvin admitted the horse hung.

Well, there's always next year.

What a finish, though! Very exciting.

That was a hell of a race.
About as good as it gets.

Curlin did it the hard way.
No crying, no nothing, the right animal won.

Great win by Curlin. I feel really bad for Helen Pitts who developed this great colt

Maybe hung is not the best description. But there is definitely something going on that's sort of a pattern. There may be valid excuses of why a horse seems to let up a little once he gets the lead. Maybe it's the result of thinking the race is over. Or it could be for the reason u gave today, that the strong move he put in earlier took away some of his late punch. Whatever the reason, valid or not, that doesn't take away from the fact that it's happened to him on a number of occassions. The racing form comments for those two races last year were "no winning bid" and "weakened". I don't know what it will be for today's race but he had the race won and then he didn't. It reminded me of Perfect Drift in the Whitney against Roses in May. Perhaps today was just getting outrun by a very good horse. No disgrace or shame in that. Could the key be to wait even longer with him than they usually do? Maybe he's the kind of horse that u want to time his move to where he didn't the front till the wire. Maybe they need to bring Eddie Delahoussaye out of retirement to ride him. I don't know what the answers are or what the reasons are but I would wonder if it might not be kind of disturbing to his people that he's had a problem finishing some races off. In nine career starts, he's given it up late in at least a third of them.

Default Add Louis Quatorze and Tank's Prospect you get 4 across the line

That was a fast race, and the best so far this year.
