Sacred Park is so brave. If he's in a two-horse war down the stretch, he'll win that.

But I'm starting to think Chambord could come flying down the outside like he did when he came 2nd to Costa Viva in the Ray Coupland Stakes. And maybe he'll go straight past these guys. He seems to be improving a whole lot with every race.

I think the fillies are a stronger group this year. The 1000 Guineas next week is going to be Bounding, Costa Viva, Spellbinder, Miss Foxwood... Can't wait for that one.

That damn Atlante is a fighter. Looked drowned at the top of the stretch and kept plugging along like a freight train. Just wore everyone down it looked like in the studio. I was commenting to co-worker that he was done and obviously Atlante didn't get the quit memo. Exciting race to watch.
