Completely missing Street Sense was pretty disgraceful.

Say what you want but Tom would not have missed him.

Didnt even notice him not catching Street Sense. Tom would have called Pine Island and Street Sense. I bet Pine Island and I was like--where the heck is she.

We were on the finish line and I bet Street Sense but wasn't able to pick him up and considering Denman's call I assumed it was Great Hunter. Around the sixteenth pole it occured to me those were Street Sense's silks drawing away.

I just watched the replay and I think TD had some money on CQ--lol. I was about 100 yards from the finish line and I didnt know it was SS until he went by.

So you were in 319? I must have walked by you ten times today. Too bad.

I was in 119 in the front row. I could reach out and touch the starting gate in both Juve races. I love being down on the rail. I heard Pletcher bitching to himself when he walking down to check on Fleet Indian. Aidan O'Brien grabbed a snickers from me - that was a bit odd.

He didn't miss her all the way but just last year, Durkin didn't catch Pleasant Home's winning move until she had hit the front in the Distaff. He was totally taken by surprise by her.

I was watching the race and I missed Pine Island going down. Trevor was going through the complete field for ALL of those listening to know where their horse was and soon as he got to the end, he switched his attention immediately back to the front and in that exact moment is when it happened. It wasn't hard to miss it. Should he have caught it, yes. But that doesn't make his day horrible. With the exception of missing Street Sense, I thought Denman did his job and did it well. I could have closed my eyes and listened and known what was going on. That's what I want.
