Everyone says that it wasn’t the rider of Cave Rock’s fault and that Bob Baffert horses all go to the front like that but last time I checked a two year old horse running a 1st quarter mile in 22: and change is squeezing the lemon for no reason. It’s not a 3/4 mile race, this race is not a sprint race, therefore the jockey blew the race.
If Forte was prompted like that in the first quarter mile perhaps Cave Rock would have outlasted him, but Irad Ortiz saved ground and got an easy first quarter mile, period
Good to see a Violence colt do well. Violence had enormous potential before being retired very young due to injury. It is interesting to watch his progeny.
Oh my, Bob Baffert's joy juice wore off way too soon for super juiced Cave Rock, what a joy to see. Forte was by far the best as he had to go so wide on the final turn running much further than CR and still easily won by 2 lengths. Just goes to show that quite often the Cali runners are overrated running on their perfect trackes under perfect conditions with uncontested leads. CR had to be in the 2 path and couldn't handle it. Pletcher 1, Baffert 0.
So, Awesome Strong, I understand, should have been in this race, too bad. But congrats to the winner. Horses and racing always stir the emotions no matter what!
cave rock just needs Mike Smith, to slow down those fractions, this jockey was too cocky
That's the kind of ride that wins on the first Saturday in May.

Cave rock 1 million dollar horse. 5 dollars jockey aboard
Horse Racing 🏇
Strong kick away by Forte looks good. Like CRs heart to hang in
I expected Cave Rock to get the win but I also expected Forte and Blazing Sevens to run well.
Forte looked impressive out there!!! Congrats!
Love How Jock Gave Forte a Slap and Brushed His Mane with His Hand on The Gallop out as to Say Good Job for Winning
5-1… What a gift!

Forte first beat Loggins and now a very good horse in Cave Rock.
Irad will get fined and days for his ride on Forte for excessive use of the whip.
The horse needed the whip to win this, but the Feds don't care.
As is often the case, winning the BC Juvenile is "the kiss of death." The also-rans become the better runners. 😕
Audio quality is bad
What a kick he's got that strong will dominating edge about him
Cave Rock will fight another day. Forte is the real deal.

Todd/ Repole/ Irad… Great combination. So happy Forte is now 2 year old champ. On to 2023!!!!
Cave Rock simply lost focus inside the 16th pole. Very unimpressive race for him…
Good win
Irad ortiz jr the best in the world..
