Sad that Willie couldn't get the money. Noble's Promise ran better than the fifth best race. Stating the obvious, but these are bad horses.

Moved too soon in the Dixiana.
Moved too soon in the BC.
(Probably) Moved too soon in the Rebel.

And, moved too soon today.

MCPEEK is just a clown.

As for Willie --- 3 of these are his. The only 'sad' thing is his riding.

As much as I'd like to see Willie do well I couldn't agree more. He simply has moved too soon with this horse almost every race.

It's a shame Talamo used up Sidney's Candy to get to the front early. That horse had no chance after that.

And now Borel just announced that hes winning the Triple Crown HAHAHA
Seriously? He was the only one remotely near the pace who didn't finish up the track. He was 3-4 lengths off a fracturing pace, made the lead and faded a bit in the last furlong. He ran a hell of a lot better than Ice Box did with the parasitic second.

Parasitic? If that was a trip for a horse who capitalized on circumstance then I'd hate to see what would have to happen to a horse for you to think he encountered trouble.

He may have had traffic trouble, but the race still fell apart into his hands. Everyone in front of him was gasping for air in the stretch.

That was a great run.

I couldn't believe how suddenly horses were stopping at the top of the stretch.

It was like Conveyance and Sidney's Candy were suddenly running in quicksand.

I have no idea what they are going to do regarding variant but I can't imagine the number would be much higher than a 96 or 97 maybe even less.

The track played fast all day really so unless these last couple races go slow they can't really cut the race loose from the rest of the card. Would be suprised if they gave him anything above a 97.
