Devastating move on the far turn by Mine That Rockamundo - he ran a 24.61 3rd quarter and a 25.17 fifth quarter sandwhiched in between the 22 and high change rail skimming 4th quarter.

I said after the race Hold me back ran by far the fastest 2nd quarter split.

It was the signature Kent Dedumbo ride.... Watch Free Country's replay in the La Derby. Why do top connections like Winstar and Mott consider him a top jock? He makes stupid Kamakazi middle moves up the rail on the backstretch in big races. His ride on POTN in the Breeder's Fut at KEE last October is worth a watch, if you need a laugh.

Yes Im bitter... I bet HMB....Im not saying he would have won, but whatever chance he had for placing was pissed away by the cajun rockstar down the backside.
Im mad at myself most of all because I know better. I thought going into the race that it was a HORSE race....Calvin Borail proved it is much more than that in a 20 horse field. Any other jock on MTB yesterday and hes an also ran!
