We have had a long journey to this point. From the Iroquois Stakes on September 6th, to May 2, 2015. The Kentucky Derby just recently finished and it lived up to the hype. This deep field proved that by producing a great run. It was a surprising start, with Materiality not going to the lead. Dortmund going to the lead may have been his undoing. Firing Line looked very good and looked like he may have been about to take over the race down the stretch. Victor Espinoza, though was undaunted. He ran a great race atop the favorite American Pharoah. He looked wide coming into the stretch, but quickly straitened out and as the two (Firing Line and American Pharaoh) went through the shadows, Espinoza let him run. It was a great call by Larry Collmus, and a very enjoyable race to watch. This blogger, also was correct in the Trifecta, with American Pharoah, Firing Line, and Dortmund. American Pharoah proved the hype right, the curse wrong and now the only question that remains is whether this horse can continue his winning ways in the Preakness Stakes and maybe even the Triple Crown five weeks from now.
