I said earlier in the day that if he's going to win, I hope he wins it with style. I didn't want to see some nonsense pokey pace with no challengers. Well, he brought the goods today.
Materiality tried to make a move (he was empty anyway) and Pharoah was back in front in less than two strides. Frosted ran a Belmont winning race but was second best.
The slow motion video of his stride at the finish - at the end of 12 furlongs - was awesome. Deserving winner, left no doubt. Greatest game in the world.
