He completely hung like a Chandelier.

When Desormeaux wheeled him outside of Creative Cause near about the 3/8ths pole...it looked like an absolute forgone conclusion and the only question would be how far he'd win by.

Thank God they don't have in-race betting in the United States yet ... because I'd have lost a fortune on him on the far turn.

He was intially moving so well but his stretch kick just has way more grind to it on dirt than the other surfaces.

Bodemeister ran a sensational race and was open lengths better than anyone else. Sucks for him that the hopeless Trinniberg was entered and he was forced needing to match strides with a sprinter through a 22 1/5 opening quarter at 10fs.

Anyway, fun weekend of racing. Nice to see Pletcher go 1-for-19 at CD and BEL over the weekend ... his lone winner coming in a NY Bred MCL race with a 1-to-2 favorite who held on over bombs of 37/1 and 47/1 in a driving finish.
