He has had three dream trips in a row. He's about as close to being one of the five best horses in the country as I am to being one of the five best players in the NBA.

When someone picked him before the race, I asked whether he was expecting a 3rd perfect trip in a row. After, I remarked that he was the male Rutherienne.
What an annoying ****in pair to anyone who even remotely understands trips.

They're killing me at the windows.

I was expecting a third perfect trip, and it paid off for me.

Commentator has taken a horrific tumble on his list. If I recall he said has said that Commentator is the best dirt horse in the US or the world. All he does is come second to Divine Park and he falls to fourth, and what about Divine Park? if he conquered the best horse in the country doesn't he deserve at least honorable mention?
