Mitchell made some eqp changes that Romans never implemented because thorn song has the tendancy to do that in the morning.

Whatever happened it changed the dynamics of the race, you know like I said earlier, never read too much in Trainer comments, TS went to the lead and MJ took back, it was supposed to be the other way around. Who knows how the race would have turned out had TS not bolted, strangest thing I have seen in a grade 1 in awhile.

It seemed after TS bolted, Baze hurried his horse to extend his lead from Global Hunter which was a mistake in Baze's part.

Thorn Song had been in the lead in much faster races recently. Nice fancy blinker trick by mitchell.

I love that filly Excessive Blend. She's movin her way up!

PICK SIX: There are ticket(s) alive on the 10 and 14 horses and either one will pay over $300,000, otherwise there will be another a HUGE carryover tomorrow.

UPDATE: #14 won; no carryover

It was reported on TVG that Mitchell changed the type of blinkers so that Thorn Song would see more of the horses behind him. Whatever it did, Thorn Song didn't look comfortable coming out of the chute and past the stands as he was tossing his head around.
