I kept saying by 12 lengths, by 12 lengths . . . so I was a little to optimistic. I'll take it, but the fact that Espinoza never really had to push him, 12 lengths and a possible Belmont record time was easily in his grasp. It was simple perfection, that's all!!! The only thing better would have been being there.

I've only followed the sport for 11 years, since Smarty, and it is absolutely incredible reading the accounts of those of you who were there.

Thanks for taking the time and for adding in so many details!

A great read! I still cannot stop smiling and, like others, I had tears in my eyes watching yesterday
