I think he just wanted to be the only top 3 year old colt that hasn't gotten his butt kicked by a girl this year.

The guy that grabbed the blindfold was the gate starter.

I seriously hope Pletcher takes him back to starting gate school before this. That was a dangerous situation for all involved.

SA Asst starters are probably the best in the business...You're right..the guy that took ahold of QR deserves a round of applause...he could've saved that horse's life by doing what he did...Excellent and Brave work by that guy...Hats Off to him...my gosh that guy had to be strong to do that...dance with a 3yo colt...forget about Zenyatta's dance..How bout that guy's dance?

Look at the expression on the guy who ultimately jumped up and tore off the blindfold:

Actually I used him equally with Zenyatta and with his scratch made out on the 50$ conso, on a number of different pick 3's.
I know at least 3 if not more well respected memembers of this website that beleive he was and still is the most talented 3yr old male this year. Keep having your fun though....

How do you think he will do in that spot?

It was an old show on life from the starting gate, I guess they pulled it to show to be smart and will be showing it all week.

I like how in the first picture one of the starters covers the eyes of Regal Ransom. "Nothing to see here!"

How about Midshipman in the Cigar Mile? He'd be a major handful.

In that 3rd picture he looks stoned or hungover or both.

He was a actually a pretty patient subject and came right to his stall door and stood for a long time with his ears up. I think I took like 40 pictures. He's built like a tank.

Thanks for posting this! I won QR's Breeders Cup halter in an auction at The Second Race (horse rescue group) and wanted to put it in a shadow box along with this photo. I've been looking all over for it and knew I saw it somewhere - DerbyTrail has everything! Thanks Sightseek!
