I would be VERY grateful if someone can snag a copy of the Post tomorrow for me. Not sure the California edition will have the picture since it's pre-printed.

Will never forget it.

Love him or hate him Bob Baffert is the face of horse racing and his replacement has big shoes to fill. The guy was made for television. Right after the greatest achievement of his career he is thinking about his mother and father.

You can't write a better script, folks. The sport hit lightning in a bottle yesterday.

I kept saying by 12 lengths, by 12 lengths . . . so I was a little to optimistic. I'll take it, but the fact that Espinoza never really had to push him, 12 lengths and a possible Belmont record time was easily in his grasp. It was simple perfection, that's all!!! The only thing better would have been being there.

I've only followed the sport for 11 years, since Smarty, and it is absolutely incredible reading the accounts of those of you who were there.

Thanks for taking the time and for adding in so many details!

A great read! I still cannot stop smiling and, like others, I had tears in my eyes watching yesterday
