    There was more frammin' and bammin' going on between second and third than I've seen on a NASCAR track in years. It definitely cost one or the other the race win.

    Yeah, and there was a couple of times when they rubbed as they were going fast and turning left that I winced little bit because I certainly don't want the horses to get their cages rattled. It ends up worse than Terry.

    What a finish. But I couldn't help but think, what if you had 3-2-11 in a trifecta, but not in that order.

    As they crossed the line (and before they showed the slow-motion replay) I was shouting, "Mystik Dan got it! I think Mystik Dan got it!"

    Play by play is hard. But horse racing has to be up there as one of the hardest. Great call by Larry Collmus as always.

    Discussion topic: Photo finishes are awesome. Booth reviews and VAR are not. Discuss.

    Watched this a few times. So good by Larry. He's watching the race, not the monitor. Yes, he does this A LOT. But still. It's a great watch to see him call this and how he see is.

    Brilliant!

    VAR is pretty much photo finish, no? Seeing if someone has an eyelash if they are onside?

    As a casual Premier League watcher, VAR is beyond annoying. But like all things, replay I hate how it's used in minuscule stuff.
