Once again right as he crosses the line I can't tell what, exactly, the race caller is saying (and am dying to know).

Wow what an awesome and surprising thing to see first thing in the morning!

Made my day. I can't remember the last time I saw this guy win one.

Hahahaha oh thanks!

Now I need to watch it again.

Just amazing and beautiful and what a great, fantastic surprise!!!!!

Okay I love half the field like I said but sentiment (Sir Slick, Firebolt, Fritzy Boy) aside, I'm gonna say She Rules wins it.

She Rules / We Can Say it Now, Fritzy

Honestly? I'll just be happy for whoever wins.

Who are you playing? Hoping for?

I like Altered Image, Firebolt and Fritzy Boy, have lots of respect for We Can Say It Now, and I'm really hoping for a good run from Vosne Romanee.

I can never remember which big race this one won.

(That's a great field. I want about half of them to win. Who is the favorite, Altered Image? We Can Say it Now? I think She Rules or Firebolt might do this...).

We Can Say It Now. She has a huge weight advantage, being a 3yo filly taking on the older horses here. I think she'll be hard to beat.

Altered Image is 2nd fav, just ahead of Firebolt, Fritzy Boy, Vosne Romanee, Obsession and She Rules.
