Kentucky Derby cancelled

[Fearless Leader]

Due to the absence of ANY legitimate quality three year olds that can go ten furlongs, Churchill Downs announced that the 2007 Kentucky Derby has been cancelled and replaced on the card with a 1 mile and 70 yards Non winners of two other than allowance race. "The racing secretary felt that this was a more appropriate race given the lack of any decent three year olds and that he could use the two million dollar purse to beef up the overnight races during the remainder of the meet." The first Saturday in May will still be a great day of racing even while shuffling the inept sophmores to the back burner where they belong. There are six other Graded stakes filled with quality nominations so no one will even miss the Kentucky Derby by days end. The blanket of roses will be divided up into individual boquets for the winner's of each of the stakes, and My Old Kentucky Home will be sung before the Early Times Turf Handicap.
