Did albarado move a muscle that whole time? I can't find the splits anywhere, but I'm sure there will be a place to post them sooner or later. All I know is the final time was 2:00.60. Not bad for an afternoon jog.; 1:05 PM
forego is my witness said...: One shake of the reins! Not a tough field but Curlin looked fine nonetheless.; 1:58 PM

The camera angle at that course in the final stretch always makes it feel like the finish comes up much shorter. That is until they pull back and you see how much runway is left.

How far were they off the rail up the backstretch? It was starting to look like Spectacular Bid's forced position in the Preakness ;>; 2:18 PM
