IMO,the bit he switched to was the correct first step
IMO, the next step would be a full cup, or very nearly so, blinker but on the left eye
other than that, there is something called a burr, it would be used on the left side of his bit, that can be used as a different deterent to his lugging in
He is still a tremendous horse. And full confidence in The Chad to make the next best move for him
And must say, from Lov9ng Room Downs, the track looked very sticky and tiring. Solid early speed had an advantage

No, not crowd noise
This is a very dominant colt but he is very very \"herd bound\"
He wants to be the leader by taking out the leaders
He\'s just not making the leap to \"leader\"
Hate to say it, but at this point he has arguably messed up other horses trips and chances
Personally, without his interference, I think Forever Young would have won the Derby
And that is horse racing,
Saez and Dornoch are a good match, and when their moment came they hit it
Congrats to the connections and those who kept the faith

Hernandez made a winning move on the rail.

I\'m sure the stewards also saw the Paco Lopez move Hernandez put n Track Phantom when he blew through on the rail. And Track Phantom was the leader at that moment

Now two wrongs don\'t make a right, but it was the best real horse race world tv has just about ever seen

Before the race McPeek said if everything went their way \"they could do something\"
After the race Hernandez said he studied Calvin Orel\'s great rail rides

As to Sierra Leone, his \'lugging in\' is not a soundness issue. It is simpky a very dominant move by a very dominant colt. He focuses on the leader and then dive bombs them. He.hasn\'t grasped that it is the wire.he is running for.
The two times he has been beat is by aezssr horse on digging the rail.

He is, IMO, head and shohlders ghe best horse in this crop. He will be back with big wins this year

Kudos to McPeek and Bernandez

Tbis is borseracing. How can you not love it

IMO,
