Exciting wasn't it? She's a beautiful filly.
The jockey seems to have ridden her often and known her well. You could see the affection.
Wasn't Mine that Bird quite a surprise too? I have to admit I thought his win in the Derby was one of those Derby upsets that often arise from having too many horses on the track, but his showing in the Preakness makes him appear to be a very strong finisher, and one of the better horses this year. That horse has legs or lungs or perhaps heart. He finishes with so much apparently left in him.
