Thought it was great too.

What a horse!

Great stretch run by Musket Man, tremendous overall race by Quality Road, and a wonderful call by Tom Durkin. I had to pull to the side of the road so I wouldn't crash.

One amusing sidenote to the Met considering a certain posters inane ramblings on this board was the contrast in rides. While the great Calvin Borel ( great because he was won three KY Derbys ) was butchering Warrior's Reward, the overrated Ramon Dominguez was giving as fine a ride as possible on Musket Man. One minimized his mount's chances and the other maximized his.

Ramon Dominguez is the greatest. He's above criticism because he puts family first and rides the inner meet instead of moving to Florida. No other jockeys have families. It's good he put his family first.

The Borel ride was awful. He wasn't going to win anyway, but I hate burning money on a horse that isn't given a fair chance because of a retarded ride. While I'm at it, screw Castellano too for his great ride in the 8th to head bob me out of all the multi-race bets.

I don't miss many live photo calls but, I blew that one.
I thought for certain the 6 won and was hoping the 2 (the winner) got the bob for place.

I didn't realize how much I had invested on the 6 until she lost.

As far as the Met goes, I don't think anybody needs an accurate BSF to know that QR is a monster, Musket Man and Tizway ran huge, and Borel should stick to Churchill.
