@es123ist, I think you're 100% right about that, my friend. But this isn't the first time Murtagh's been guilty of choosing with his heart instead of his head when he was riding for Ballydoyle. I've been told he had a soft spot for Duke of Marmalade. Which is why Murtagh chose to ride him over HTN in the 08' Classic. He was the same way about Rip Van Winkle. Decent horse. But should've never chosen to ride Rip over F&G in the 09' Epsom Derby, or over Cape Blanco in the 2010 Irish Champion. JMO.

@GBeret83 I tink wit Murtagh on his back Henry wud hav been unstoppable and wud hav beaten Ravens Pass 4 d 3rd time! Fav horse of all time!
-
@Barbaro2012 ravens pass wasnt even the best horse in england that day, wait for strong suit to do goldikova, then you will be drolling
-
@GBeret83 Jimmy Fortune was injured so couldnt ride Ravens Pass in the classic. Murtagh always had a soft spot for Duke Of Marmalade, and would have chosen him over anything.

@eg6cvchatch my post has no opposing views regarding yor reply. agree w/everything u wrote, WATS YER POINT? "I UNDERSTAND ~ENTIRELY~" Curlin ran fast enuf to get 6 horses (4 heads apart)grab lead by 3/4 briefly. But never came close to shrugging off or leaving field. Trev dramatic w/out doubt. his call spawned visions of curlin striding away for 2 length stretch lead. Don't have 2 be there to understand the race; but stoked 4 U @ BCC must have been fun 4 U. want 2 get there sumday also
-
@caliwaters88 i was there that day. you have to understand that curlin was WAY wide turning for home and passing horses easily as he made his run.

Certainly not that he could complain with the outcome of the race. But I've always wondered why John Gosden decided to go with Frankie Dettori on Raven's Pass in the BC Classic when Jimmy Fortune had ridden him in all of his races in Europe? Also often wondered why Johnny Murtagh chose to ride Duke of Marmalade instead of Henrythenavigator? Both were talented horses. But I felt like Henrythenavigator was clearly the better of the two. John Velazquez had to appreciate picking up the mount on HTN.

'' Look at Curlin Go... ''
Oh dear...

@Nucleo85Torino Well those are opinions. This is why there are races. Sadly we will never get to see RVW race Zenyatta...
