Thanks for making sure things stay clean.

And the ride, what did you think?
I didn't have a problem with it. It looked like the leader was drifting out, and I've seen jocks try to go outside of drifting horses and races because of it time and time again. I thought it was a good move, if a little risky.

Gary Stevens said the rail is dead. Maybe not at the time this race went. I am so used to seeing horses pass on the outside on dirt. It looked from the head on to be the wrong way to go... well before the bumping. The Kentucky Derby sky view would have been nice on this.

I have a hard time being a jock critic. It just looked very dangerous. Hooves certainly cannot put Bejarano in the same category as Albarado.
