Why all the love for Letruska.
Isn’t she just the cheap speed Swiss stalks and pounces on top of the stretch and hopes her 4 yo legs out kick MG down the stretch?

I would never call Letruska cheap, but I also think she’s in deep with these two.

Going with Swiss Skydiver. Don't like Cox running a second horse in here.

Man Irad is so damn good.

Good job by Kenny McPeek having Swiss Skydiver ready

I couldn't tell what was Robby Albarado's game plan exactly...

It was either to see how many times he could stop-and-start Swiss Skydiver in a single race or how many different compromised positions he could put her in in a single race.

Or both.

I couldn’t believe he asked out of the gate, but hes a horrendous rider so...

Not sure if that was his idea or McPeek’s but it was dumb. Not really sure what he was doing up the backstretch but I’m not sure it mattered. She was bad today

Had to be both. I haven't paid any attention to riders since the days of McCarron, Pincay, Day, Santos, Delahoussaye, Stevens, and Bailey. I really don't have a clue who 98% of these guys are anymore. I rarely blame a loss on a rider and I won't here but damn, he did the horse no favors at all.

Fortunately for them, she wasn’t winning anyway, but it was just a matter of time before he compromised her chances. They had an out after his post race comments last time. They missed the chance

Nice race by both Letruska and Monomoy Girl. Great finish. I thought Monomoy Girl had it easy at the 8th pole but Letruska really fought back nicely and got the win.
