This bothered me too - Nick Zito has pulled off an upset AGAIN and the cameras are all focused on Big Brown and that jerk, Dutrow.

Not only that, but its not like BB was winning it and Da’Tara just became the winner by a fluke. Da’Tara lead almost from the break, and ran a gorgeous race. In the backstretch he looked like was cantering in the park - he wasn’t even trying. When he opened up, no one could catch him. He earned it fair & square.

He also ran the whole race with his ears pricked forward, which was adorable. 🙂
