1. Kent might have started his run a little late.

Nyquist is solid but i am now determined to beat him.

2. LOL. King, I have been trying to beat him all year....

....I see his races and he doesn't switch leads. He looks around at the crowd in the stretch. His gallops and workouts don't look very impressive and hell, he's never ran a big figure. Surely someone's gonna beat him, right? I don't know anymore. He's sneaky good.

Stick with your horse, though. He's a nice one, too.

That was a pretty good Derby. If it was me, I'd point Danzing Candy to the Met Mile and the King's Bishop. He's a fast sonuvagun.

3. Yep Danzing looks perfect for the mile--wire to wire.

5. Loving those who say Exaggerator will get him at the Belmont.

Or-he made his move to late. Who is to say that Nyquist didn't fire up his afterburners.

7. SB Nation had this photo up this morning....

....I thought it was a pretty funny play on Exaggerator's name. By the way, word outta Louisville this morning is Exaggerator is a go for the Preakness. Gun Runner is a possible starter depending on how he looks on Wednesday.
