Nobody gave this Gone West colt a chance, at the far turn it appeared Unshaded was going to blow right by, but this gutty colt dug in and stayed the distance!

Looking at Commendable's pedigree, it is not amazing that he ran 12 furlongs and won: Nearcox2, Princequillox2, Secretariat, Nashua, Count Fleet, Native Dancer, Tom Fool, Man oWar, Bold Ruler, Miss Disco, Not a great field, but Commendable ran a fine race Didn't get passed around the far turn or the home stretch. Mark of a good horse.
Isn't racing always hyped by statistics.....For the first time in four years no triple crown contender, for the first time in thirty years the derby and preakness winner not in the field and so on.....
13:00 glad Leslie proved her great racing knowledge of ZILCH
Great tactics by the great Pat Day. Ran slow fractions on the front end and loped around the track taking the startch out of the late closers.

Why is tom durkin not on the call?
Tom Durkin was on the call, but only for the track P.A., not for the broadcast.
