That was a beautiful race. I started tearing up when Barbaro made his move.
And why are none of my friends at home when I want to talk?
Man, just ascend already.

Sumi! Details!
I just got home, and BH doesn't have info up yet.
(Yeah, yeah, for someone who doesn't officially follow the races any more, I'm still pretty invested. I just don't *watch* them. On TV. MumblemumbleMSNBCOTOH...)

He ran a perfect race. Well, apparently he stumbled a bit at the start.
He was the favorite all day which made me worried and then just before they got into the gate Sweetnorthernsaint became the favorite.
Keyed Entry made the early speed. (They ran the half in 46, I think.)
He was just behind the frontrunners and was asked to run at the top of the stretch and just moved. He won by 6.
Bluegrass Cat was second and Steppenwolfer was 3rd. There was a deadheat for 4th between Brother Derek and I can't remember who.

Umm, when Sweetnorthernsaint became the favorite, I felt hopeful. (Crazy, I know.)
Lawyer Ron wound up pretty far back. Keyed Entry wound up last.
Before the race Matz said that he wanted to bring him in fresh to the Derby so he'd be fresh for the Preakness too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Are you back to the running then, ita?
I am trying to decide if I want to head out an hour or so early to go to the mall that's kind of where I am having dinner, which would mean I get all day tomorrow to do laundry and grocery shopping, or if I want to nap today, and then go to the mall and do laundry and go grocery shopping tomorrow.

Plei, the Jacksons who bred and own Barbaro also bred George Washington who just won the 2,000 Guineas -- they're having a very good day today.

I'll say! That's the kind of day breeders dream about!
