I am FINALLY excited over the Derby and Curlin came thru as hoped for.

He was immensely smooth at the break, getting position and keeping to his track. What a beautiful finish.

Yep, he closed for 4th.

Brianwspencer should be a happy camper... his boy Storm in May should make the derby.

He ran a decent race trying to close against the slow pace, Cajun. Came very wide around the turn and finished 1 length behind the 2nd place horse. (and a nose in front of the 5th place horse!). He's pretty clearly not at the level of top group this year, though.

Hmm it's a wonder he didn't trip over the starting gate before they got a chance to move it.

Not that it was wildly fast, but the winner was impressive.

Glad my boy stayed around for 2nd

He's no the most talented 3yo, but he does have some heart and
gameness. He looked beat for 2nd and would not give up. He is
a owners dream a check getter

He made a nice move around the turn and I thought he might actually move into contention but Curlin was just too good.

But I agree with you completely, once Curlin ran off I thought he would be beaten for the Place spot. Gotta love that he's tough to pass in the stretch.
