Exciting race. Coil vs Shakleford the whole way,low 22's first 3/4. Ruler on Ice plays stalker. Probably cant catch coil in time..3rd place tie for prayer,pants,and astrology.Shakelford will fade.
Did you hear just before the quarter the announcer saying Garcia is trying to get a hold on coil but hes throwing his head up he wants to run? Why woudnt the jockey let this horse run his race? Right, he didnt want him to fade in the stretch. Its always the same lame excuses. .I would love to know if Baffert called for this.This field made me think of the 73 Belmont with its 5 horse entry, except Ronnie LET Secretariat stretch out early and that took trust.But, I believe, a great horse knows what to do and when to do it. Nothing from Kid, he was brilliant.And he definately had a better Jockey on him.Just my opinion.
