Win or lose, each Triple Crown race was thrilling this year. You would be hard-pressed to find a better advertisement for racing than having all three of its most-watched races being decided in the final 1/16th.

The most memorable moment for me was the Preakness. I had played Bodemeister and was counting my money at the top of the stretch. As IHA drew alongside Bodemesiter, I began partly rooting for IHA even though it was against my interests because I knew I was witnessing something special.
