Well, looks like Einstien was ready for a big one, and got it...fractions not fast at all, and can't really use the 5 lbs as much of an excuse for Commentator...I feel bad he got passed like he did in the stretch, but the winner was much tbe best in this one.
Still can't take anything away from ol' Commentator...he ran a good race. The way this race played out, with the fractions, I think it would have been an easy spot for Curlin...oh,well.
Side note...Belmont winner DaTara can't even will an optional claiming...that's pretty sad.
