He was the heavy favorite. Looks like the race caller didn't seen him go to his knees at the start, or he wouldn't have been so surprised by the last place finish.
Good job to the crew of Storm the Court. I wanted to scream at their annunciation of Anneau d'Or (Sounds like...A NEW DIOR, jeez) I pray Dennis Moment, Twenty Six and Campaign are all OK(?)...
When horses are hopelessly beaten, they are eased by their jockeys. There is no use running them hard. It is standard operating procedure in horse racing.
@@ValleyoftheRogue I was about to say that because I watched all the races and nothing seriously bad happened. All of the horses made it back to the stable
Be interesting to see what direction they take the colt. He reminds me of Snow Chief. Despite what some on here say this was actually a pretty fast race for the day. Prat put them away on the turn. The runner-up has a big future. Blinkers on, check. These are 2 year olds people kooky things happen. Congrats to team Eurton.
Frosted Ice Pharoah I think he would’ve gotten this race as well. It was disappointing to find out he had an abscessed foot. He was my main pick in this field.. I think Dennis’ Moment would’ve won or at least placed had he not stumbled so badly coming out of the gate. As for Eight Rings, the hype behind the horse was a joke apparently. Perhaps he just had an off day. I don’t know. I don’t see any excuse for him here though. He faded like War of Will did in the Belmont.
This race left a very nasty taste in the mouth. It was obviously fixed. The favorite was doped to the eyeballs (he couldn't even pass the Japanese horse) and the other fancied horses were beaten out of sight. Ortiz was interviewed after the race and he was laughing
