I love this derby, real battle to the end, also it set up the unlucky stud Unbridled to be 2nd horse who produced 1 winner in each of the Tripple Crown races: Grindstone, Red Bullet, Empire Maker: the only other horse who did it, is his grandsire the one and only Mr. Prospector
the reason Grindstone didnt run in the Preakness was cause he never won the derby in the first place!!!!…Cavoneer won this race hands down and I cant believe you people cant see that!!!!…try slo mo…..no business like show business!!!
I bet Cavonnier with confidence on this day. I still have a hard time accepting that Grindstone beat him. I’ve been to many Derbys, and it took the stewards about 8 minutes to sort this one out. Man I loved Cavonnier, after his Santa Anita Derby. But I gotta hand it to Grindstone/Bailey…masterful ride.
This was the most memorable Derby for me. I bet Cavonnier and was so disappointed that he lost by such a small fraction, but they were two amazing horses.

Mike Smith moved way too early on Unbridled’s Song. He didn’t have a chance after that.
