I also liked the #1 horse, the gray. … Mucho Macho or Macho Libre or whatever the hell his name was. Too lazy to go look it up. He ran a good race too…. I thought Desormeaux rode a smart race–but he was lucky that Big Brown broke cleanly and got out ahead of the press so he didn’t get stuck i n the middle of the pack. … He’s an absolutely beautiful mover and a gorgeous horse to boot….
