Default Camelot is attempting to sweep the Triple Crown this weekend

I am sure you all know this.

Steve any chance you could have someone on your show to talk about this. Perhaps Nick Luck?

I was wondering about the distance but in looking at the probable field it looks like it'll be pretty easy for him.

I do like Thought Worthy and imagine he'll hit the board.

Too early to say such things but whatever.

I am sure I am not the only person who was disappointed to see Camelot lose.

Perhaps if he had gotten out earlier he would have been able to catch the winner...Who knows...

I think he is a very special horse. He almost swept the triple crown - a feat no one has attempted in 42 years and only two horses were in position to try in that long period of time...

And although it was not the ending I wanted for Camelot I am so thankful that his connections were game enough to gave him the opportunity to try
