Mike Battaglia had the 11 as his #1 pick for the race. And Black Mystic added blinkers for the first time which probably helped her win. I think that Mike will think twice next time when handicapping and a DT horse is in the line up. ;-)
Watching the race again, I saw Ramp with a great deal of energy and determination throughout the race but even more so in the last furlong. :-)

Post race info...
Rampillion came out of the race in perfect shape acccording to TC, and jockey Diego Rodriguez told Chuck she did everything she was asked. Rodriguez said she was eager early and wanted to go, but grudgingly followed his direction to be patient. The apprentice rider also said 'Pills' was unaffected by taking poly residue in the kisser and was especially game once the real running started the last 3f. He also believes she will be happy to stretch out. All in all a very satisfying performance after a wasted start at the end of the Churchill meet. Supporters of the Lime and Royal got back $11.00 and $7.80 for their PL-SH punts. Chuck will shop for a spot for a next start for Rampillion in about 25-30 days.
