Exciting race! I just got home in time to watch it. Very impressive comeback!

[Pajamajan]

I feel kinda bad for Todd Pletcher. He had five in and none of them hit the board.

[PerConPat]

It was an impressive win.

I'll say it was...What a charge from the back; it was a great Run for the Roses!

[Rose in RoseBear]

And I like the fact that the jockey was sponging the mud off the horse as they took their lap.

Now it's Pimlico and a mile-and-three-sixteenths! I expect to see Hardspun there .... he was running well at the front, and I wonder how he'd do on a dry fast track.

[Pajamajan]

They just showed the overhead view of the race- what a great ride by Calvin Borel.

[HairOfTheDog]

I guess next year he has to enter even more horses ;~)

[SnarlinCubBear]

I’ll go in the other room and ask her - MOM??????

LOL - I don’t think i heard if she placed a bet.

Besides, her PEOPLE would place the bet.

[PerConPat]

Yep...It looked like that pony wanted to go around again!

[Pajamajan]

Hard Spun was great too. Interesting to see the rematch at Pimlico.

[i_dont_chat]

Good pickin’.

Did you place a bet on Street Sense?

Beautiful race!

[HairOfTheDog]

[lysie]

Wow! Great overhead shots. Excellent jockeying.

[KoRn]

1337!!

[eleni121]

Calvin-—great jockey...knew exactly what Street Sense could do.

Beautiful race!

[Palladin]

Great race, and the horse that won is a beautiful creature.

Does anyone have a pic of the Queen’s hat? I missed that part.

[fatima]

It was no big deal.

[michigander]

[Pajamajan]

"next year he (Todd Pletcher) has to enter even more horses".

It sure seems like the racing gods don't like multiple entries by the same trainer. He had a few in last year as I recall, and had about the same outcome.

[SuziQ]

Wow! The Queen’s hat matches the wallpaper! Did she get a ‘heads up’ on the decor, or something? ;o)

[epow]

I like it when the winning jockey cries unashamed! Go Calvin!

If Calvin is anything like the Cajuns I used to know who lived around Thibodaux LA he won't sober up until about this time next week.
