Macho Macho wins it. A tough race and a tough beat for last year's 2YO champ.

that other horse went with him and he was pressured all the way. Tough to win like that. Smith should have ridden him a little differently. Glad he didn't punish him in the stretch when Hansen spit the bit. Tough race for the big guy.
