Kent was absolutely right about experience at Belmont.

Great race by Dunkirk as well... Showed he is the real deal.

Speed on the rail was golden at Belmont yesterday.

I think Dunkirk's connections very cleverly took advantage of the track condition to get their best possible outcome with a horse who is, I fear, rather one-paced.

Borel's move was 1/4 mile early. He needed to ride at the track last week, instead of going on TV shows. He's generally a humble, hard-working gentleman and I think all this attention went to his head.

No doubt. Borel had a ton of horse too. Just a very pre-mature move.

Dunkirk ran a very game 2nd setting decent early fraction.

Woolley is all class with that post race interview... I'm glad their horse is a gelding, he's good for the game.

Borel was saying they were going slow up front, is that half and three quarters slow for 12 furlongs.

No, it was very fast.

good final time as well.

I didn't like Summer Bird at all. Well, I liked him a lot at 1 1/16th... Wow.

I think he meant no one took out in front of him, but to even though the track was fast the raw pace for that distance was pretty quick, and at worst fair.
