Thanks I wasn’t sure, I though I saw it on his right just past the buckle when he was interviewed after the race. The horse won because he had the speed, stamina and a good jock that took him the short way. That takes skill to get the horse through a hole like that.

He was right to credit the jock and prior trainer that had qualified the horse. The horse was still hyped and a pet may or may not be a good idea. I saw the horse jump every time Borel smacked him on the neck. That horse was ready to run again and had to be pulled down after the race. Good sign for the Preakness.

Good observation - another reason why I’m not a horse trainer!! Sure was a fun race.
