Frosted drawing away in the stretch was the highlight of the racing weekend for me, despite having Creator on top and annihilating my friend in a heads up handicapping contest for all 13 races @ Belmont.

What a display by Frosted. Arguably a top 3 performance I've seen in my 12 years of being a fan.

For some weird reason, as I'm watching the race, the thought of Discreet Cat's 7 furlong allowance win popped in my mind. Two totally different circumstances, but it's the Herculean effort that reminded me, I think.

Negative 8.2 TG from what I've heard...I've never seen anything even remotely close to that. Ever. Blessed to have seen that race live.

An all-time great performance by any measurement and best # ever since Jerry Brown has made figures.

Beyer on ATR today to discuss as well..
