Yeah. Why bury that horse inside? That's one turf course where you can lose a little ground in favor of giving yourself options.

I'm not sure about the "that's one turf course where you can lose a little ground..." comment, as on any course you want options, but riding favorites like they are longshots is the equivalent of having no plan. Irad rides too many horses for Chad like they can't lose no matter what he does. He rode the horse extremely well last time and then completely abandoned that plan yesterday.

Not to sound like a broken record, but a picture perfect ride by Desormeaux in the 1st today. Saved ground, tipped out at just the right time and a strong finish got he and his mount up.

Impressive.
