I only watched the race once but with a :44+ half mile & a 1:24+ final time that was a horrendous battle of attrition.

I was surprised that Pirate went off at 10-1, wasn't he a hyped odds-on horse when he won his debut earlier in the meet?

At any rate, he's the only one he seems interesting on first glance out of the race, but at the same time, if he was sitting back behind that quick pace that collapsed he probably blown them away in the stretch. Even the winner looked ready to fall over when he looped the field...
