They broke together again. In fact, it looks like Bold Endeavor broke maybe slightly ahead of Heywood. Then BE loses position past the wire the first time and floats wides into that first turn for zero reason. You may very well be right and Heywood was just better than BE yesterday. But I don't think BE was given the best opportunity to win the race while Heywood was. And that made the difference.

And, yes, Heywood was clearly the main rival. He finished 1/2 length behind BE last out. Kershaw finished almost 4 behind BE last time they ran.

They did not break together last time. BE broke at least a length better. If you can’t see that, the rest of the conversation doesn’t matter because it’s obvious HB broke slow last time.

Under the wire the first time Kent pumps once or twice to get BE going. It didn’t really help.

They’re not robots. Some have better days than others.

Fair enough. I just feel like horse and rider seemed to not be in sync the first part of the race. Had they been maybe the margin at the end is closer. Maybe it’s not. I don’t know.

I know this dude gets ripped a lot, but that was a fantastic ride he put on Princess Grace yesterday.

It was perfect. He's been riding very well at Del Mar...and really since coming back to southern California.

Joe Bravo has also ridden very well since arriving. Not sure what that says about the colony out there.
