That was on ATR's Best of 2007 ballot, but I don't know where it finished. The colt has been sent to Dubia now, so it's hard to consider him a legit Derby prospect with the path he'll follow.

Hopefully, a straight one

Man.. That was one of the bizzarest finishes I have ever seen thats for sure!! thought for sure his race was over when he started to veer out.

That's incredible. I wasn't aware of this particular race. Were the rest of the horses that bad, or is this horse going to be something special?

That's the point exactly. The winner may or may not be OK, though now that he's in Dubai we'll probably never know, but those behind him are absolute crows. The ones that have come back have cemented that position.

Might be the best barrel race horse...unreal. The jockey did a good job not giving up. Who was it?

Thats not the first time I have seen a horse who veer out like that and come back to win or at least come back into contention. However I was impressed by the horses acceleration. That was amazing how he ran faster than he did before he veered out.
