How would The Classic have been...

[SOREHOOF]

Lawyer Ron had races that would have won this. Just not on this day. Post hurt him, and he seems to lose interest when things don't go his way.

i don't know, invasor always showed a way to win, and never got much respect. i'd take him over curlin.
but then, it's all just a mental exercise anyway.

have to say, talented as curlin is, and seemingly special, i almost choked earlier this evening when i read gary west writing that asmussen might get the eclipse.
wouldn't that be just grand.

That's the way I feel, too. I had no trouble rooting for Curlin once it got down to Curlin, Street Sense, and Hard Spun. With the latter two definitely ending their careers prematurely, give me the one who at least MIGHT be around next year.

I will say this for Asmussen--he was very gracious toward Helen Pitts in his ESPN post-race interview.

Hey, Lusty Latin won stakes races at 5 and 6 in MD. And anybody who remembers that SA Derby knows that his third was what Harvey Pack calls 'a suck-up third' or the TVG guys call 'garbage collecting'. The front-runners were walking to the line and he kept on at his one pace and passed a few of them. Nothing more than that.
