That was an incredible race! You know it's good when you lose $20 by a nose and still say to yourself, "Damn, that was great!" The way I see it, we have two outstanding racehorses here, and one of them just had a little bit more left in the tank at the end. I can't argue with the ride by either jockey.

Hard Spun, on the other hand, was moved way too early. I can't understand why Pino thought he had to jump into that speed duel with Xchanger and Flying First Class. These two speedballs were clearly going to burn themselves out at that pace. Unless Hard Spun hates taking dirt to the face, there was no reason to chase the pretenders instead of waiting for the contenders.

Can't wait for the rematch-- whenever it may be . . .
