I admit I bet her, but was that not a brutal trip for Disposablepleasure? Castellano had to grab her going into the first turn and then the stretch run wasn't exactly smooth for her.

Hard to call it a terrible trip really. She steadied slightly going into the first turn but had a good trip after and was lugging in in the stretch. If she wasnt lugging in she would have been able to go through the hole at the top of the stretch before Bafferts horse angled to the rail.

Thought Endorsement had a shot until the last 100 yards. Dangit.

Have a sneaky feeling that Alternation might end up in the convo for horse of the year come the end of the season.

Enjoyed the article. I like how you weaved anecdotes into the article and placed the 2012 Derby in an historical context. Very well done.
