Nice. I figured it would be good from what collmus gave out for 2 4 and 6f. He just got in stride and did his thing.
Watched it on my phone, so couldn't see the times but when he gave the six f time, I told tony 'he's clicking off twelves'. He said......what? Lol

Cheered him home with my 2yo son in my lap. At 33, I didn't have a TC winner in my lifetime. This bugger is 2 and gets one! Hahaha what a glorious day. Love him or hate him you have to respect him for this moment.

How can anyone hate a horse?

Well, other than birdstone on a certain Saturday in June....

2:26 and change. I've been following racing since Carry Back and watching this is so great. My whole family cheering him on. We're hoping for a chance to see him at Monmouth or maybe Saratoga.

Same thing in the sports book at this Vegas hotel. Lot of cheering as he came home. I think it's a great DAY for racing. Don't think as much for the long term though.

So happy the wait is over and congrats to Victor, Baffert and the Zayat's who showed what winning with class is all about.

Hopefully it won't be another 37 years as I don't think I have that much time left.

I videoed my family watching it so my girls (ages 6 and 4) would be able to remember this day. I tried to explain to them that I was only 1 the last time a horse won the Triple Crown. To me, there is nothing better in sports than Thoroughbred Racing and hopefully people were able to grab a hold of a little piece of that today.
