I think I was right about Giralomo..... Hes a stud, he broke slow and still did that, Kensei is accomplished and this was REALLY STRONG IMO. He just blew him away. I know the track is playing fast but Kensei had the better trip and had nothing for Giralomo and the time was strong as well.

I missed the break, but when I turned it on, I was surprised to see Girolamo that far back............he attacked Kensei and was much the best. The track may be fast, but wow - 1:33 and change fast?

I really hope they don't point him for the BC - first, I have no idea how he'll handle synthetics. Second, it's too much, too soon for him. Third, I dont' want to push Girolamo to go 1 1/4 at this point in his career. I'd prefer to see him point for the Cigar Mile and a 4 year old campaign. If he wins the Cigar, though, he'd probably be retired.

**Was he running on his wrong lead near the wire? That's what it looked like to me.....
