I just read this morning--buried in some article about Justify's latest workout-- that American Anthem, who received quite a bit of press last year during the Derby trail and then later put up a sharp effort on the Belmont undercard in the Woody Stephens, successfully returned to the races a couple of days ago at Churchill Downs.

My first reaction was that I wished these message boards were more active so I could more easily pick up on these things (where the hell was RHT on this?) before they happen. Then I realized that the racing news sites (the one's that are left) ought to have been promoting his comeback.

This is probably why the Blood-Horse's main distribution strategy is to hand out free copies of its latest edition outside the entrance to the Men's bathroom at the Keeneland Sales Pavilion.

I guess I should just be thankful that the Tapwrit allowance got a headline or two.
