He was huge, and Liam gets another cupcake trip. Liam is an excellent horse that said he was not close to the best horse in that race. Digital Age had a weird trip. I thought JC was reacting it's like he never had a plan. I think he ran better than it looked as well.

I didn’t like his chances anyway, but it would appear as though Rosario fell asleep in the gate aboard Rock Your World. His foot was out of the stirrup when the gates opened and while all of the other jocks were pumping to get position his hands were down. He then got bumped, costing him any chance, but it would appear he had no chance from the start.

Rosario’s foot was out of the left stirrup a good 1/16th of a mile into the race. It’s actually amazing he stayed on.

I just read Rosario said RYW lost a shoe at the start. LMAO. No mention of his foot not being where it needed to be at the start.

What a game!

So Rosario (or Ron Anderson) tried to wait for the other shoe to drop (out of the stirrup as it were) before deciding between Concert Tour and Hot Rod Charlie and ended up getting passed over.

And then Sadler thinking himself the genius (even though he has no Triple Crown success whatsoever) decides he should change jockeys on his well-backed horse and the shoe ends up on the other foot (and out of the stirrup)...

Well, if they can't keep their feet in the stirrups they can always open mouth and insert...

When is a good time to talk about Baffert winning the Derby with a son of Protonico?

What's the knock on Protonico or Medina Spirit's pedigree in general? Went over it with Sid Fernando Wednesday.

I don’t recall knocking Protonico. But it’s quite a feat to win the Derby with a horse whose sire has less than 5 total winners.

My comment has more to do with Baffert than the horse. Hopefully I didn’t hurt Protonico’s feelings.
