You have merry-go-round years when the riders all want to rate - War Emblem over Proud Citizen for instance.

That was a pretty strong pace... the other 3 horses on the lead after the 1/2 mile call finished last, 2nd to last, and 3rd to last. Those two were just far superior. The 3rd, 5th, and 6th finishers came from far back and Limehouse ran a remarkable race to be 4th beaten 8.
