I am not surprised that Exaggerator won this race, even with this talent rich field. He's an incredibly resilient horse. He hit the accelerator in the slop and blew past a field that was running a blistering pace of 22 and 45. Enjoy!
Under jockey Kent Desormeaux, the 3-year-old son of Curlin raced as many as 14 3/4 lengths back early, but he blew by the frontrunners, took command in the stretch and pulled away to win by 6 1/4 lengths, ahead of Mor Spirit. Uncle Lino, who raced in second tracking early leader and San Felipe winner Danzing Candy, gamely finished 2 1/4 lengths back in third. From a Very nice article at Bloodhorse crammed full of insight from all the jockeys involved.
