but i love regaleira too so i'm very happy for her & her connections. i fell asleep so now i'm going to go actually watch the race

I would not have picked Regaleira based off of her form this year but the old Regaleira sure picked the right moment to show up.

yeah that was kind of a weird race imo - lots of checking throughout was what caught my attention. it seemed like a lot more than usual?? but then everyone seemed to have a clear shot once they made the final turn... the head-on stretch view would be interesting to see.

but yay girl power!! nothing wrong with making a little bit of history
