how refreshing to see a derby winner run past the spring classics. perhaps a sign of things to come, maybe sooner or later they'll start running at four as well!
It's terrific. Does anybody know how the Saratoga attendance was today compared to previous years?

If only they would show more racing on national TV, they would indeed gain a wider audience as people could follow particular horses. That means more people going to the track to see their stars in person. The racing industry has always seemed to shoot itself in the foot, never noticing how being the national sport slipped away via neglect over the years. Horse racing never pursued TV aggressively, and now it's virtually gone from even newspapers ....

Huge congrats to Street Sense, thank you to Calvin and Carl!
