    If EQ wins by 5, people would ask for a jockey that isnt going to burn him out. Great ride, Luis.

    Coming off Very Tough 12F Race in Belmont...Raced Wide today throughout especially on far Turn when VERY Wide...Kept coming and coming...Soon as his Rival on rail Threatened him he Kicked it in and showed his Grit...He was finishing Better than rest of field...Such an Easy Horse to root for

    Good pace all along for Keepmeinmind. Jockey did a great job with this excellent horse.
  • I had no problem with the ride Luis gave.. he knew he was on the best horse so going wide was no problem. Rather that than get stuck in traffic on a 2-5 favorite
  • @petrotmyrcz308
    Much closer than I thought it would be. Hats off to Keepmeinmind. Good race.
  • EQ does just enough to WIN! Why over-exert for a Grade 2. Even 4 wide in 2 turns was easy peasy no wasted effort.
  • @gerrin1530
    When all is said and done EQ might be the best 3 year old of this generation but its not by much is a tight group of horses. Life is Good and RHC will have something to say too.

    Surprised I Ortiz on Weyburn would “race ride” Saez by fanning him wide on the final turn entering the stretch. Ortiz obviously knew he didn’t have any “horse” left Didn’t see the point of the tactics if Ortiz couldn’t battle the eventual winner all the way down the stretch instead of throwing in the towel at the top of the stretch. Certain jockeys decade in and decade out need to check their egos and leave them in the jock’s room once they head out to the paddock.
  • It's a warm up for the Travers, he moved well and was on top going to the line, no need for anymore.
  • DYNAMIC ONE 1:49:36. ESSENTIAL QUALITY 1:49:92. The Former Looks Like A Different Horse Than The One At Aqueduct In The Spring!
  • Essential Quality should go on to keep winning but Keepmeinmind has a lot of similarities to Keen Ice.

    Masquerparade wasn't finished. He was cut off by Essential Quality.
