2016 Kentucky Derby & Oaks . . .

What a nice run!!
Congrats Nyquist & his connections :slight_smile:

Anyone catch who that was, getting pulled up/eased going into the final turn?

Very nice stretch run from exaggerator too.

Nice race, and I congratulate all of Nyquist’s people. I hope the horse that pulled up is OK.

Woo! Had the exacta. Although it probably won’t pay much, was lots of fun. Especially to see Eggagerator’s stretch run.

Ah Nyquist. You are awesome.

Who pulled up?

Great race!

Congratulations to all NYQUIST connections !

Congrats to Nyquist, lovely run, great ride.

Not a fan of O’Neill nor Reddam.

Shagaf did not finish.

Very proud of ‘our’ Mario!! Well done, cool as ice ride.

Is Shagaf OK?

I had noticed a horse being pulled up, but couldn’t make out who it was.
Hope all is well with him.

They said Whitmore pulled up too.

Twitter says shagaf is ok, just tired and pulled up.

Can someone explain this: at the start of the race and for the first like 15 seconds, Nyqist jockey was only touching the colt’s sides with his ankles. Then he settled down and calves touched the sides. On the replay he was the only jockey I saw doing this. What was going on?

I loved Exaggerator’s run at the end. Great race. Congrats to Nyquist and connections.

Well, I’m obviously thrilled.

He “had his feet on the dash” which means he was using his whole body to steady him until he got him into a stalking position.

Thanks, I didn’t see the actual race.
Saw the replay.
But. Opps I picked the winner again.
NONE of my ‘other $2 picks’ came in the money
