Velazquez had his idiot cap on and presses the rabbit part of his entry taking out Flower Alley. Espinoza makes a premature middle move to take out Imperialism. Grand Reward gets the patented Mike Smith 5 wide middle move.

Sun King only finished 3rd because Bejarano was smart enough to take back after the 1st quarter and drafts horses on the rail. He passes the dead horses in front of him for 3rd.

Dude Lava Man could have broke on top, went 51 for the half and lost by 15, PLEASE STOP.

Dude I have saw the chart and your a ******... Pretty simple, Sun King was on the pace he did not stop, Suave did not move from last... The only 2 horses who stopped were Lava Man because he was a total POS bottom level claimer outside of Cali, and the Rabbit. There was no real collapse here, Borrego just CRUSHED THEM.

So you don't think the HUGE move that made Durkin cream his jeans might have been the collapse of some crazy early moves combined with a that 25 and change split to the mile? The crazy thing is he did not even have to throw a sub 24 split to make the move like another closer we all know does.

The race was nice, it looked pretty, but it was not anything special. This was backup up by how poorly he ran in his next race showing how counterfeit the "move" really was compared to what people think of the race.
