From the connections of Thor's Echo......


"At first we were really down about drawing the rail, but after watching the earlier races we could tell there was a bias towards the inside and we really started to get excited because it was obvious the rail was the place to be," said O'Neill, who won the 2005 Juvenile with Stevie Wonderboy. "We even started joking before the race about how we could probably sell our post for good money. And even though the post helped, Corey did a fantastic job maneuvering him out like he did."

Nakatani said he wanted to stay on the rail as long as he could, but once leaving the backstretch had no choice but to angle out and go after the leaders.



Its hard for me to comprehend how anyone watching all of races sober doesn't feel there was a stong rail bias. Bias doesn't mean 100% you can't leave the rail, just easier running there than on the outside. Round Pond and Street Sense are just that much better? Thor's Echo really turned the tables on Bordonaro too! Watch these rail enhanced horses going forward, I'll try to point them out ahead of time so everyone can play along...
