Quote:
Oddly enough, I would give seriously thought to another 2nd place finish as the most impressive horse of the day--Asi Siempre. She was trying so hard for so long to get through the wall in front of her. I thought Leparoux was going to jump her onto the back of one of those mares. (Instead he finally slammed her into Balleto to get her outside.) She redined "full of run". But I still have to join the Ouija Board camp. That was thrilling. And I give Lord Derby so much credit for bringing her back from the injury to run her again. --Dunbar
