i finally watched the race this evening after getting back from dinner and a movie (land of the lost, don't waste your time and money).
when i saw borel make his move i told my husband it was too soon. jocks ride this track like every other, but belmont is like no other in that you still have a quarter mile to go at that point.
borel rode the best horse in his mind, and i'm sure he thought the horse would duplicate his derby run, and fly by and win easy. so much for that thinking.
i wonder tho if now darley will be trying to buy birdstone.
