Journalism

[T Severini]

Keyed him but not with Gosger.

That was the most unbelievable recovery I\'ve ever seen even if they disqualify him.

Horse has heart that’s for damn sure
He ever gets an outside post
Best effort since Afleet Alex

This is a serious group of 3 yr olds. Best in many years, imo.

Same, Gosger saved all the ground, Journalism unbelievable performance,  thought they were going down. Irad three wide into the first and probably eight wide around the second,

[Michael D.]

And the owners: “on to New York” and “bring on Sovereignty”. Love it.

I hope so. I listened to Bill Mott on a radio show and he said something like that his horse is the type that could win the Triple Crown. Well he blew it by not running, and if Journalism runs in the Belmont and wins, pretty much would wrap up 3 year old title and possible Horse of Year in 3 weeks.

I thought he couldn\'t lose against this bunch & Prat almost proved me wrong. Prat should get days for his ride.

[TreadHead]

IMO it\'s the most ridiculous thing I\'ve ever seen, more impressive than Alex.  The length and amount of contact, and the lengths back he was after it was finally done, I didn\'t think there was any possible way he was going to win that race.  The only thing I can think of that was even close was Caracortado winning a 6.5F T down the hill when Trevor called him done \"not today\" when he was dead last a long way coming out of the dirt crossing.

I guess we all see different things. I\'m seeing Rispoli doing an Irad and creating his own gap by banging into the Baffert horse\'s hind which probably causes the 1 to come in like that.

Btw: another jump forward by a Keenland prior. Should have listened to myself. There were several examples in the archives.


Good Luck,

On the Network coverage Jerry Bailey commented that is was a jockey\'s (Prat\'s) job to pin the adversary into a disadvantageous position as well as Rispoli\'s job to do what he did. It\'s a a case of where two rights make a wrong. There was no hole. Goal Oriented got the worst of the collision and it was hard to tell if he bore in or was ridden in by Prat.

[P-Dub]

There was a hole and Prat sawed him off
If I\'m Rispoli I\'m putting hands on Prat in the jockey\'s room

Blaming Rispoli for the 1 coming over is a special kind of ridiculous

[jbelfior]

We all have our opinions right P-Dub. It\'s amazing how only yours are right.


Good Luck,
Joe B.

It sure was. What a racehorse.

I heard the opposite
Bailey said “Prat came over”.

My take is that Journalism trying to force his way out from behind took out Goal Oriented\'s hind end, turning him inward.  There is nothing Prat is doing with his reins or his body that would cause Goal Oriented to turn in that drastically.
