Ive had a few days to recover and digest it all. As I suspected the initial pace was a suicide mission although I expected Trinniberg to be on the lead through the half. Trinniberg pushed Bodemeister to such a fast half. it was a given he would get caught. However Bode ran one hell of a race and nearly pulled it off. Hansen was clearly rank and hard to control though he broke well.

In the stretch Bodemeister weakened and Mario Gutierrez on I’ll Have Another was in perfect striking position. After breaking from the 19 wide post position, he angled inside at the first turn and was only about one horse-wide from the rail. He never encountered any traffic trouble in the 20-horse field, and on the final turn he angled to the outside and past the leader.
He had a perfect trip.  I’ll Have Another finished the 1 1/4 miles in 2:01.83, a slow time over  a fast track. His overall Beyer Speed Figure of 101was the second-worst in the last 20 years ( Giacomo’s 100 in 2005.)

Based on that it's doubtful that he will sweep the Triple Crown series. I congratulate Mario Gutierrez on a great ride and the connections who gave this impressive young jockey his shot.
