To be fair, he probably was the best in that race. The best horse doesn't always win. Nice effort by the winner though.

10 had EVERY chance to go by. Ran a little further but no excuse IMO. Hansen is much, much better than many gave him credit for.

Didn't think Hansen could win this, but as soon as LeDuca said people betting on him were part of "amateur hour" I should of reconsidered.

If 8 to 10 lengths is a little further, I guess it isn't an excuse. Hansen ran well today, but I don't think anyone with good knowledge of the game would conclude he was the better horse today or going forward.

How about Trevor with his "they couldn't be going any faster" then seeing 23+ 47+ fractions hit the board. Just shut up and call the action.

Does that attention include spelling his name correctly?

UR ran 78 feet further, but H led the whole way. ...
That's a pretty hard run for both of them.

It was just a joke, but it also shows how he was overlooked by many. He is a horse, he'll be ok.

Union Rags probably has more going forward but was not the best today IMO.
10 ran longer distance but a lot of that was him being tired and lacking tactical speed mid race. 5 gutted out a victory, tip your hat and move on.

Since when is the lead, a clear lead, a disadvantage, particularly for a 2 year old?

I did, twice, say he ran very well. But we are allowed to express opinions here, right?
