Interestingly, the same jockeys were involved. Robby Albarado rode Curlin and Swiss Skydiver, and John Velazquez rode Rags to Riches and Authentic.I agree @Vagabond! Really seemed like she was eyeballing him. I remember a piece after Rags’ win, saying she had Curlin by the throat and did not let go. Same for Swiss Skydiver. And they were quite a distance ahead of the rest of the field!
I forgot to watch...anyone know where I can pick it up on rerun?
No, Tiz the Law was the favorite followed by Improbable. Authentic was 3rd choice.Authentic was the favorite, wasn’t he?
I saw some criticism of the way Keeneland prepared the track; it was like a speedway and so the dirt races were not very exciting. One horse died yesterday in an early race, sadly. It made me remember George Washington, who should never have been running that day and who saved his jockey in the process of losing his own life.
