That race featured, and I'm as big a Desormeaux detractor as any, an absolutely flawless ride. He did an excellent job taking the initiative and then once in front he did his job perfectly. It also illustrated something that NY racing fans are seeing far too often and that's that Edgar Prado (who was hesitant out of the gate to begin with) is getting even worse. He never made any effort to put Radical Sabbatical into the race, even with his far outside post. That enabled KD to take the lead, coast, and have plenty left, with some thanks to Garcia for his masterful display on Expansion.
