In this weekend's sporting news we saw Rafa Nadal win his fourth straight French Open title, and an unknown post a shocking win in the Belmont Stakes. Nadal completely dominated Roger Federer to win his fourth straight French Open (Federer lost to him in the final for a thrid straight year). That Nadal would win is no great surprise, but the scale of his victory was remarkable.
As to Da'Tara, did anyone see him coming? True, any son of Tiznow should get a look, but if someone was going to beat Big Brown on Saturday I figured it would be Tale of Ekati or Dennis of Cork. Instead Da' Tara comes out of nowhere to be the Belmont's first wire-to-wire winner in 24 years. Congratulations to Nick Zito.
