I thought this was pretty interesting...

"Borel said he thought he had beaten both Hard Spun and Curlin. “I thought it was all over when I got by Hard Spun turning for home," Borel said. "I thought he was just going to gallop. But things happen. He just got to gawking 40 yards from home and he just got outrun."

Who got to gawking? Or was this a quote from the horse?

I thought it was an excellent race by both horses, but I could have done without that quote from Borel, considering he was doing some gawking himself...
