Sweet ride on Sea Calisi! Is is okay for a NY rider to just ride the best horse like the best horse or do they have to prove they are the smartest guy in the room like a college professor?

I shouldn't say it like that. When Velazquez is on the best horse, Velazquez wins the race.

I guess you missed the True North today.

I definitely did.

And now I got it. He did make that look hard.

I assume you agree with Sea Calisi though? That horse is for real IMO and is the likely F&M BC turf winner. I guess it might help on the odds in the next one?

Yes, I agree that Sea Calisi was best today, and she is a terrific horse, but it's a little premature the call her the "likely" BC winner. If she stays sound, she feels like a horse that could be a major player, but there are a lot of "ifs" in that statement.

Her race today will lower her odds next time. Everyone saw her trip/trouble.
