The fact of the matter Keith, I wasnt going anywhere. He was effortlessly galloping and reeling them in. He proved it down the lane. He just exploded.Exaggerator won by 1 1/2 lengths for his sixth victory in 13 starts. American Freedom finished second, with Sunny Ridge third and Nyquist fourth.

I had to change my course in the stretch and then let him run again.The decision to run Exaggerator in the Haskell was a bit surprising. The 3-year-old colt was training in Saratoga for the Jim Dandy, which was run Saturday. But after a subpar workout, Keith Desormeaux had a change of heart.
