Curly was devoid of early speed, spending the early part of the race hanging out in the back of pack (strangely enough with Curly Cameli). But, he did make a nice middle move, passing a few before tiring. He ended up 7th at the finish. It will be interesting to see where he runs next, since Saturday was Oaklawn's closing day.
The winner was Orientate Express who made an early move, got over the rail and held off Castillo Del Sol who closed nicely for 2nd. Hollywood Handsome ran evenly to finish third.
Anyone else see the race differently? I would love to hear what you thought.
