Oh my God, what is that lady interviewing Javier wearing on her head? It looks like she had a fight with a giant <a href="sea%20cucumber" onmouseover="window.status='sea cucumber'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">sea cucumber</a>.

Yes, but he's a breathtaking horse anyway; the most striking one I've ever seen. I'm still stunned, to be honest. I think I'll feel truly happy a bit later, lol

He didn't beat anyone? Ugh, I knew this was going to happen. Sunriver is a nice horse, a very nice horse, and people were talking up Minister's Bid before the race. If Bernardini beat lousy horses, then what did Barbaro do? I don't think there were any great horses in the Derby.........but that doesn't take away from his performance. Very good to potentially great horses make good ones look bad sometimes.
