I dunno, can we add Mike Repole? He hasn't talked about himself in the third person in weeks now. I'm going through withdrawal.

does animal kingdom move back to turf? i don't see him running in three weeks. i just hope he does't turn out like another mine that bird, who also ran second in the preakness after a surprise win in ky.

Looks like they could both end up in the race. Not definite, just possible. I was fully expecting to get the news that neither was moving forward, so I'm pleasantly surprised.

i am hopeful that the two both go to the belmont. it's tiring to have people avoid each other much of the year.

also, who is shackleford's owner? i'm not familiar with him at all.
