Tie in with big fight tonight......

It's a Knockout.
Hoping Pharaoh gets a clean trip today

Vic Espinoza knows how to put him in position and he's said he has not opened him up yet. If he gets a clean trip, he has a chance for a big win.
Dortmund should win this..

His cruising speed wears down competition. Just hoping they all come home safely.
Can anyone explain why they would have....

Johnny the ice skater flitting around in a flowered hat on the Derby broadcast? Seriously, WTF?
The chief steward at Churchill Downs ....

just referred to the horses as "equine athletes".
I've got a little money on Carpe Diem.

Only because it's no fun betting on the big favorites.
Come on Upstart!

American Pharoah  
BigBlueShock : 5/2/2015 6:49 pm : link
Is my guess..
Congratulations to American Pharoah  
MaineGiantFan : 5/2/2015 6:50 pm : link
Espinosa rode him well. No excuses for Dortmund. Interestingly run race.
I think  
MookGiants : 5/2/2015 6:50 pm : link
I'm going to go with 18, 10, 3, 15 super
Where did Mara's horse finish?

It was a clean trip for Pharoah and he did not disappoint,.  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 5/2/2015 6:54 pm : link
Dortumnd had every chance to win but didn't have enough in the tank. Great win for Pharoah.
That was a bullshit race.

No pace. They jogged around the track. Closers did not stand a chance. Frosted may have won that race if they ran a normal pace.

No excuse for dortmund. He should have wired it. Slow pace. What a let down. This was a great group of horses, but nobody wanted to push the pace. The top 3 horses ran 123 all the way around the track.

That's actually a very apt description. That's exactly what they are.

If you don't think that those horses know that they're competing and that the good one's have the same burning desire to win as do the elite human athletes, then I think it's safe to say that you haven't spent a whole lot of time with horses.

None of the speed horses would have kept up with the top 3 anyways.

The Race

Which was very competitive was run in 2:03, Secretariat ran it in 1:59 2/5, so he would have beat this field by 18 length's, that's all.

Track conditions have changed and there were 18 horses in this field compared to 13 hwne he ran. Very poor comparison. Are you saying Monarchos was as good as Secretariet then?
