That jockey on exaggerator deserves a lot of the credit, that was one amazing performance, they were as far back as 8 at one point but kept next to the rail until after the last turn.

....he made the pace with heavy pressure on him from the break to the 1/4 pole. Exaggerator is a nice horse who is a freak on an off track. If it was me I'd regroup, rest my horse and map out a plan to get him to the BC Classic.

I'm glad they all came home safe. Triple Crowns are not easy.

Yes, considering the other tragedy, glad all safe in the run.
