I was hoping Wet Paint would win but she never really fired today-- she,was caught

Mid pack for too long

I was a little heartbroken. She was my real inspiration this year - more than any of the Derby contenders - she was just so exciting to watch  I agree with you, she just didn't look interested today. She looked a bit annoyed at the start of the post parade, like her blinkers were bothering her

She didn’t fire today for sure! Hopefully she’ll bounce back next race!

Nice win for Pretty Mischevious!

Yay s and nays from Oaks

I had hoped for either Godolphin runners and as usual the longer shot wins. Happy for Walsh and team Godolphin. First win in the Oaks
