Just Steel was the only horse in the walkover that had a pony, or so I read on twitter.
I'm watching Forever Young walking in the paddock through a Japanese broadcast.
I think that he is fine.

Him and TO Password look great! I hope they run huge!

Only one chestnut this year (Society Man). Huh.

It’s a very bay field.

"Only one chestnut this year (Society Man).

Maybe we should put some mythical money on Society Man, the OTHER Good Magic son?

Up until last week, I thought Mystik Dan was chestnut and was really shocked to find he was not

Domestic Product is dark dark bay. And the rest are just bay. It’s odd!

I couldn't watch live, too nervous, but... Mystik Dan?? He was possible, but never would have bet him. Looks like an exciting finish!

Palace Malice · Sat May 04, 2024 7:07 pm

So sad, if Forever Young didn't get bumped at the start I'm sure he would have won

I'm bummed

Izvestia · Sat May 04, 2024 7:07 pm

Excuse #1!

Izvestia · Sat May 04, 2024 7:08 pm

Sierra Leone had to check, forced wide. Came from the clouds!
If anyone needs an excuse.

CoronadosQuest · Sat May 04, 2024 7:10 pm

I wish Sierra Leone and Forever Young weren't playing bumper cars down that stretch. Oh well. Forever Young ran a fantastic race and lost by a nose.

I think they just said TO Password got 5th? But, maybe I heard wrong. Love how NBC is giving NO credit to Japan at all

Yeah, he was fifth. After being nearly last early on? Japan is definitely going to win a Derby sooner rather than later.

I really hope they stay for one of the other TC races! Forever Young ran SO GOOD and so did TO Password. Its such a shame when they go home so soon.

Without being bumped at the start and in the straight Forever Young wins it IMO

i firmly believe if he hadn't gotten bumped in the stretch Forever Young could've won. great race by all but bummed to not even see an inquiry up.

After watching the forward facing video angle, I think Forever Young would have won. Sierra Leone leaned into him across a couple of lanes.

I know, Sierra Leone was really trying hard to wipe him out
