The race was won by Desormeaux's move into the stretch. Great ride by him to get first run in the best spot on everyone...Heady rides more often than not are the difference on the grass, case and point, Elvis Trujillo yesterday on Presious Passion, who clearly has the ability to go fast on the front end in a marathon. Rather than try and wrangle him back, he let him roll and do what he does best on the front end, and look what happens. Heady ride by Kent today to not get stuck in behind horses breaking from the rail in a 14 horse field.

I didn't bet the two.

Are you disagreeing saying that Trujillo gave him a stupid ride even though the horse continues to win employing the same style, rather than rating the horse into submission...Other riders against a horse like Presious Passion are damned if they go with him and damned if they don't.

Trujillo gave a brilliant ride. He knows he has a monster horse under him, why screw around. Presious Passion has to be one of the coolest horses to watch run in years. I know Monterey Jazz will be going BC Mile probably, but would be kinda wild to see those two in the same race. Both are gutsy frigggin horses.

Not sure if Rosario has won a Grade I in his career, but I think he gets it here on Noble Court. This race is ideal for the horse. Plus there is enough speed for him to run at. NC's last was very impressive. Use with Siren lure,Rebellion, and Rush With Thunder in exotics. Even throw in Star Nicholas at a huge price in exotics.

Triple Bend, a 3 yr old taking on older...worth taking a shot against?

Multiple horses are coming out of the same race (Ack Ack) that fell apart but this race does not have nearly as much speed.

I think the hype on Zensational has been ridiculous but he's so much faster than anyone in here early that if he gets the lead it's over.

Great ride by Kent. At the start I wondered what the hell he was doin so far back. Too bad Leparoux didnt get a cleaner trip. Might have given the 1 a run for her money.
