5. I couldn't resist checking

and here is some commentary by one who thinks that BBB might come in third in his race.

Rounding out the top 3, I have #4 Bye Bye Bernie. He has never gone the 7 panels, but he runs like a horse who should thrive at the distance. He is pretty devoid of any early foot, but he should be aided by the pace scenario in here. There is a possibility he is not good enough, but with the multiple options in this race, he should be a nice price.

But the race is #8, so it will be a couple more hours before the results are known.

6. That horse, Bye Bye Bernie, ran fourth or fifth until the top of the stretch....

.....then faded to 7th, disappointing his fans.

10. I giggled muchly at this

11. It would have been hillarious to hear the announcer repeatedly call out that name!

On the loudspeaker no less! Over and over as the race was going on!

12. I just watched the replay - he was so far back most of the way his name was only called once.
