I musta missed that.

Guess you did. Where he sat still after Caviar was in front of the four closest challenging horses by a length. She looked clear to me, too, at that point, yet the good outside closing horse got it's feet and put in another acceleration. Beautiful performance by this closing horse, too! Nolen beat off that second challenge.

Good race!

PS watching it again, she started on her left lead, switched to her right lead for two furlongs downhill, but then spent the majority of the rest of the race on her left lead. Wonder if her right front suspensory is bothering her again, or something new?
