I hope she treats her father right. It would be a shame if she didn't considering all he's done for her.

Yet another textbook example of why it's so easy for a speed horse to dominate a two-turn Derby prep race.

No one wanted to use there natural speed - although Nacho Saint and Stay Thirsty both charging the gate early and having slow starts contributed to that.

Some horse who broke his maiden at 24/1 odds at Penn National two back got to control a soft pace from the outside and easily ran the race of his life. Put any real horse in that position - and they'd have dominated this race.

Possibly, but then if that were the case, woudn't ST have been closer to the pace? I missed the beginning of the race, so I assumed ST was further back than usual because they wanted him to rate. In his debut, he wasn't on the lead - he stalked. That might be where he prefers to be.

Stay Thirsty broke a bit slow - the Nacho horse actually broke open the gate right before the start.

A better start by Stay Thirsty actually would have helped Toby's Corner a little bit - had Stay Thirsty broke well and was positioned forward from the start - Castro wouldn't have been quite as focused on getting into a wrestling match with TC.

I noticed that, did they look at the start or just let it slide cause the gates were so close to opening?

Castro probably would have done it anyway.
