Got boxed in at the Kentucky Derby and could not get out. Won the Preakness and Belmont after that.

That was a great horse. Too bad it got stuck in the crowd in the Derby.

What happened in the Belmont?

Beat Winning Colors by 41 3/4 lengths in that race. Hard to say WC was better.

Risen Star won the Belmont by 14 lengths in the 5th fastest Belmont time on record (a "shitty" 3 year old?????). And he beat Winning Colors by 40 lengths (f-o-r-t-y !!) in the Belmont.

In the Preakness Winning Colors tired down the stretch and finished a well-beaten third. She didnt get bumped. Her Jockey made a move to the inside to save ground but didn't have enough horse left to finish.

For you to say Winning Colors was a better horse is laughable. Maybe you should limit your comments to topics something you know something about.
