Huh. Not exactly the sort of thing that can run a mile and a quarter in two minutes. Or move at all, really. Wonder why?
Whereas "Mandolin" speaks of swiftness, especially in its traditional Kentucky use.
BTW, my favorite factoid of the race was something a commentator said offhand as they were loading the horses into the gates: Medina Spirit, the eventual winner, had never been passed. With so many talking about the favorite, Essential Quality, who ended up out of the money, I thought that was an overlooked piece of intel - kind of a horse-to-horse character trait. It ended up being true again, as he led wire-to wire. Even as Mandaloun was closing in on him toward the finish line, he kept pulling away. We'll see if this continues at the Preakness.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
