That race was a beautiful thing to see, as is this picture. I loved the fact the jockey just got out of the way (held on for the ride and didn’t use a whip) and let that horse RUN. Way. Cool.
Bluegrass Cat, Steppenwolfer and Jazil who finish second, third and fourth are sitting out the Preakness. While I’ll be rooting on Barbaro (as I will include him in my exotics), the Belmont may go to one of these three well rested horses.
