Iamishwara?! Really?! That was a strange race - the first three were in front the whole way and the closers never got anywhere near them.

I love this horse and am thrilled he won even if I am still scratching my head.

What can you say about Natuzzi? He just ran his heart out today, didn't he?

You know, I meant to ask you about Robert Hannam cause I'm not familiar with the name and that was either a very well thought out ride on Ishwara or he sure got lucky being in the right place at the right time with that slow pace.

Well I am happy for all of Iamishwaras people.

King Glorious and I, long ago, had a continuing... "debate" about G1 horses vs G1 winners and it took me a long time to see his point.

LIke I said I am a huge fan of this horse as I know you know... I hope he'll do it again at some point. Puccini and Soriano lose nothing here... they are both far beyond this level and it just wasn't the day for either.

For the love of God when do we get the Derby field??!! SO exciting this year!

Robbie's 48 years old, he's been riding since the 1981-82 season and he's ridden 914 winners in his career. Saturday was his third G1 win. It's probably fair to call him a journeyman or a battler, so it was good to see him get a big win on Saturday.

Derby field is confirmed tomorrow! More contenders coming up shortly.

Good for him! Feel stupid for not knowing his name...
