The start probably did War Emblem in...but what about Sarava! A 70-1 longshot gets the win with $142.50 for the win. The triple pays something like $24,000 - wow.
Man that sucked. I was really pulling for War Emblem. The start did mess him a little bit, but he was really able to catch up towards the middle. I dont know what the heck happened on the last three legs though. Was he hurt or something at the start?
when War Emblem was stuck in fourth for the first half of the race, it looked like the top three were building a wall around him (or is War Emblem a her, I don't have a clue) in order to stop him...her...errr.. it. but in the end, just another choke job... they also said one of the horses went to the hospital after the race...
