Default Slew's Tizzy

Kinda looks like they are going to skip the Derby.

I am kinda sad, but DEFINATELY watch out for him in the Preakness!

This is keeping the hopes up of Teulfesburg (however you spell that name).

It's pretty amazing you managed to work the two horses with the least chance in the first two legs of the Triple Crown into one post.

That's the thanks I get for a compliment?

Here I had thought you nailed down the " internet post of the day " award.....not easy during Derby time mind you. The question I assumed you were posed was " can anybody manage to work two non-triple crown contenders into one post while pretending not to realize it ".

I like Slew's Tizzy. Don't really care for the other, Teulfesberg.

Tiznow was a late bloomer, and maybe his son will be too.

The problem with Slew's Tizzy is that he has been VERY mediocre his entire career and then freaked on the odd polytrack surface at Keeneland. Add that to the way the race was run, as nobody gained an inch of ground with the proven mediocrity Starbase holding his position the whole way, and you have a race with a very questionable result.

The bottom line about the Lexington was that it was a terrible field running on a surface that is providing one unreliable result after another. While anything is possible, and much like Cinderella perhaps overnight Slew's Tizzy turned into a superstar, it is far more likely that sometime before his next race the clock will strike twelve.
