We had our press conference at LAD today and we always do a "pick the Derby winner" contest for the media. If they pick the right horse, and win the drawing, their company/friends get a suite for a day at the races.
Anyway, unlike years past, no one really had any sort of idea what to do about this race... it's just not at the top of mind like it should be.
Uncle Mo losing the Wood was really a big hit, I think, to this year's race. The three weeks leading-up to the Derby would have been a totally different ballgame with him undefeated.
Hopefully the fans still bet on Saturday though... we'll see.
