SS. he has got to be a legit derby horse.

None of those horses have to be. Obviously if there is one in that group its him.

He came 3rd, but with all the bashing about him scratching and not wanting to go. BOS ran pretty good I thought.

Ran huge Mark

Ouija Board did not dissappoint. We had a magnificient female who has been thru some of the toughest turf races in the world come back again and prove how good she is at an advanced age. Did not have a dime on her, but this is a wonderful animal and unlike so many other animals we have had a chance to witness her ability. I love this horse. A warrior. Tough as they come.

bernardini.....i didn't think he would be nearly that close to invasor.

ouija board--who else could it be?? how often will we get to see a horse come back for the THIRD time, two wins and a second....she was truly special.
runner up goes to miesques approval.
next would be invasor...

street sense had the best single performance......if you wanna take into account other stuff then its ouija board hands down.....what a horse she is.

We talk about Street Sense and the golden rail. The think that made it was the great job Calvin did . If you look back he was 1/2 jump from getting cut off and squeezed back with no chance of winning. he went from 5th or 6th at the best to leading in about 3 strides with a great job by Calvin. Lotta horse but maybe one of the best rides you will see. My other contender Doug Oniel, All of his horses ran well with Lava Man being the exception but overall his horses over performed.

invasor wasn't on the biased part of the track, was he? his win also very impressive.

Badge ran huge, needed just one more and he would have won. Indeed a great job by Bobby.

Still to me OB's got to be the best

Thinking about it, the Churchill RAIL was the most impressive of the day. I hate it when the track superintendants take it upon themselves to play a role in $20M worth of purse money.

This comment just make Invasor's race much more impressive.

miesque spanking that ass.....looked good doing it too..congrats .to live oak and marty..w

LOL! Good one, avance.

Oddly enough, I would give seriously thought to another 2nd place finish as the most impressive horse of the day--Asi Siempre. She was trying so hard for so long to get through the wall in front of her. I thought Leparoux was going to jump her onto the back of one of those mares. (Instead he finally slammed her into Balleto to get her outside.) She redined "full of run".

But I still have to join the Ouija Board camp. That was thrilling. And I give Lord Derby so much credit for bringing her back from the injury to run her again.

Miesques Approval was top win as the way that horse came home was spectacular and made all the rest look they were in another league a notch below. MA just crushed them and even if you like the horse, you wouldn't have expected that.
