Switch jocks and Curlin wins and Street Sense loses. Curlin could have went right up the rail if you watch the overhead.
Borel rode a great race. So did JuLep.

I thought the same for Zanjero... except Zanjero would've been runnig for 3rd regardless. Zanjero was ahead of SS the whole Race on the rail, and then Bridgemohan took Zanjero off the rail into the 2 or 3 path. Zanjero runs into a wall of horses and checks, while SS blows right on by on the rail. But I don't think Zanjero finishes any better than 3rd even if he stays on the rail and gets through.
