That's what I'm doing.

Post time is 6:47 I think.
They're (ESPN) is still on their loop.
Hopefully they'll switch the feed soon. Like now !

They're saddling them in the paddock right now.

18 minutes til post time.

Olympic Chief already has 15k in WPS pools on him. Talk about wasting
money. They should just give it to me. I can put it to good use.

ESPN NEWS ? Right?

I'm watching online:

Thank you. I caught it just in time to see the last half. So much for Delightful Kiss.

I am FINALLY excited over the Derby and Curlin came thru as hoped for.

He was immensely smooth at the break, getting position and keeping to his track. What a beautiful finish.

Did he end up closing for 4th?

Yep, he closed for 4th.

Brianwspencer should be a happy camper... his boy Storm in May should make the derby. :D

Bugger. Missed it. How'd Olympic Chief do? Did he trip anybody?

Didn't trip anyone, was only 55 lengths back.

Hmm it's a wonder he didn't trip over the starting gate before they got a chance to move it.

Oh those works after the next to last are so key.




You would have tossed Secreteriet in the Belmont.

Not that it was wildly fast, but the winner was impressive.

Glad my boy stayed around for 2nd :D :D

He's no the most talented 3yo, but he does have some heart and
gameness. He looked beat for 2nd and would not give up. He is
a owners dream a check getter

He made a nice move around the turn and I thought he might actually move into contention but Curlin was just too good.

But I agree with you completely, once Curlin ran off I thought he would be beaten for the Place spot. Gotta love that he's tough to pass in the stretch.

He ran a decent race trying to close against the slow pace, Cajun. Came very wide around the turn and finished 1 length behind the 2nd place horse. (and a nose in front of the 5th place horse!). He's pretty clearly not at the level of top group this year, though.
