That was very impressive. Had Fabulous Strike been in there, he may have won by more.

It's hard to lose with that set-up, but he probably is pretty good. I thought he was going to open up more at the end, but maybe he was geared down. I wasn't paying attention, so not sure.

I think Munnings might be a terrific bet against at Saratoga. That same trip is unlikely to be made available three races in a row and he's going to be everyone's darling after beating older horses and earning what should be a pretty large Beyer.

I'm as big a Tom Durkin fan as anyone but I cringed in midstretch when he said "a dazzling display of sprinting ability."

You knew JV was bound to find the rail once in a few thousand rides.

It seemed to me like he was expecting Munnings to pour it on, but when he didn't Durkin just went with it anyways.
