    Hey Calvin - the pace wasn't THAT slow. Wasn't fast.
    What is this inquiry?

    On the inside, looked like one of the horses got squeezed out on the rail.

    Don't see any reason why it'll affect the winner.

    What was this Sonya who Desormeaux mentioned in his victory speech?

    Awesome -- would have only lost to Secretariat by 20 lengths (2:27.5 -2:24.0 @ 6 lengths/second) :eek: :eek:

    Don't know if its a jockey thing or what - but Borel's hands seem way to big for the rest of him.
    Pretty interesting run for a Triple Crown without even a double-winner.

    It will affect one of my betting tickets. Hopefully Dunkirk gets pushed back a bit.

    That was the Summer Bird run I was looking for in the Derby. I guess that's the difference between a 10- and a 19-horse field.
