Going to be a sloppy, wet, nasty track for the race. Gotta be knee-deep in mud.

It always amuses me this event is 5 hours long and the actual race is done in less than 2 minutes.

Any of you put some money down on this?

Justify was the only horse without a muddy face.

I've heard of 'sloppy' tracks but that was ridicules!
Grateful no horse slipped and fell causing the ''big one''.

Justify won the triple crown

Was this run with a high downforce package?

It is being highly considered for the 2019 season. There was a lot of displeasure with Justify being able to lead wire-to-wire. If it weren't for clean air the entire race the outcome could've been different.

They are restricted to like one freakin' horsepower! And high drag and zero downforce! What a snooze-fest. The only way to win is to get yourself a real hot shoe... preferably four of 'em "matched perfect and staggered special."

Bring back the good ol' days, when jockeys were real men with real manure under their fingernails, and you could drink beer with 'em down at the motel parking lot... no Pantene Shampoo models flyin' around in private jets!
