Never been a fan of Vineyard Haven's.

Missed the race, had to deal with cardiologists and surgeons all day, hopefully they put this race on kentuckyderby.com/video. Doesn't Justin Dew have a gig with them? Does Desert Party have any hope of a classic distance? At least they have all of Vineyard Haven's races up and have a good excuse to add this one - Hey JUSTIN ...

Who would have turned down the $12 million?

All I do is write. I try to stay out of the behind-the-scenes stuff. No idea when the replay for this race will be posted.

Ever seen a horse climbing before? That was what Vineyard Haven was doing all down the backstretch, lifting his knees up so high that he looked like a trotter breaking stride. Usually indicates the horse can't get traction on the surface. It's very tiring for the horse, so not surprisingly he flattens out late.

I thought it looked more like he was cross-firing.
