Very true.A bad horse has never won the Derby,and I think the people that own and train this horse have been totally disrespected for over a year.People should have more respect for the winner of our biggest American race.Another bunch of crap is the people that say he won't fight.Well, Trevor told the truth about him on the turn.He said he needed to do a little better...Well,he fought for this one.He wanted this one,and people who thought he would only come like that "one lucky time" are just wrong.

if horses like monarchos don't get a lot of respect from a lot of people, why would you ever expect giacomo to get any??

it's really a shame tho that this horse has taken so long to 'back up' his derby win. also a shame that holy bull still can't seem to get a break. always liked that horse.

it was a great race except for dropping Papi Chullo out of a hard fought 3rd.

I would like to see him go out a winner.Go out showing everybody that he can indeed show some heart.He didn't have to win that.That took a competitor to get up,and win that.For too long he has been looked upon as a bum.Well he isn't.I'd be happy if they let him retire now.Last thing I want is him getting hurt.People don't appreciate him anyways.

I was pulling for him and it was nice to see him close so determinedly.
That was a short race for him to get up and win. Maybe he will pull off a few more surprises this year before hanging it up.

the commercial breeders don't like Giacomo because he's by Holy Bull and they don't like Papi Chullo because he's by Comeonmom, a Halo line sire.

Comeonmom stands at a modest 100+ year old family farm in western NY and it would have been a big plus had Papi Chullo placed in this G2. PC did beat Giacomo in an earlier stakes and they'll never be able to take that away from him.
