I didn't pick up my jaw from the floor for about 5 minutes after Jimmy's race! Horses aren't meant to win big races as easily as that. It's crazy. The crowd at the track started clapping when he was only halfway down the stretch! As the race caller said as Jimmy came back after the race, "He's a joy to watch." He's the 2-1 Derby favourite now. It's getting kinda hard to see him get beaten in that.
Sir Slick was so brave! And it took a really good mare in Veronica Franco to hold him out. That was a great race.
