    Does anybody else think there were too many horses? That was one sloppy race.

    No way. You should have been around before they limited to just 20 horses.

    Best 2 minutes in sports!!!!

    Phi, if you had done your homework, Spanish Chestnut was supposed to set the pace. Bandini was supposed to pick up from there, but never did.

    OMG did you see how much that superfecta paid? 1.7 million!

    I wonder who was the lucky person that won that one?

    yeah, i'm just surprised it worked!!! wait...it didnt!!!!!! bandini finished last! and spanish chestnut went crazy for about 3/4 of the race.

    i do appreciate the sting homage with giacomo. still love afleet alex, though...that horse runs with a ton of heart. i think i'd probably pick him to win the next leg of the Triple Crown.
