It was a very fun exciting race to call, i hope Passport goes on to do great things. Also, if you guys get to check out the race AFTER the cradle, it was a 2 lap race on the turf course, and one rider forgot and thought it was only 1, it was pretty comical.

Thanks, Jballscalls! I guess there is only so much you can tell from the chart; I tried to watch a replay, but I wasn't going to sign up with some kind of betting website to do so.

probably the easiest way to see replays is wire to wire on espn2--i have it set to tape, since i'm already up and gone by the time it comes on....

I always forget about Wire to Wire........also, our local cable channel replays races on Tuesdays, so I'll have more than one chance to watch the race.

just glad i have dvr...much easier than fooling with a vcr!
matter of fact, need to watch last weeks show....

Balls, I agree both colts were visually impressive and should make some noise down the road. Just looking at a chart can sometimes mess up your opinion unless you follow the curcuit.
