Into Mischief finally broke through last year with Authentic. Some other top sires have a shot this year to do the same, Tapit with the likely favorite and Curlin with the likely 2nd or 3rd choice (as well as a possible trendy pick in King Fury if he’s able to draw in).

Speaking of progeny, my wife is due to have our third daughter on April 28th. She’s gone early with the other two so I’m not too worried about the baby coming on Derby day but I checked and the hospital will have NBC available.

Also, as a sidenote: I tried but my wife rejected Rachel Alexandra as a name.

You should have first pretended to want to name her "Bayakoa" or "Zenyatta". After those, Rachel Alexandra would have sounded like a great name!

(Congrats, btw!)

Three daughters and a wife. You deserve a Congressional Medal of Honor or at least a Purple Heart.

Haha, thanks. My daughters are only 5 and 3 right now and still like me...but let me get back to you in 10-15 years and see where things stand. Although, my 5 year old recently told me that "horse racing is boring." It'll be nice when I'm able to get them back to the track so they can see the horses close up. I think her tune will change.

I hope you have success in getting them to like the sport. Neither of my grown kids share my enthusiasm for it. My son will go with me, if I ask him, but he has no real interest in the intellectual challenge of it and the same can be said for my daughter. She will go with her girlfriends or whichever guy she's dating, but it's more of a social thing for her. She even likes to go to Vegas, but
mostly for the shopping and the spa and the food and drink. She hardly gambles at all, if any.

Thanks. I jokingly suggested Zenyatta as a middle name for one of our other daughters. All I got was a dirty look and she started ignoring my name suggestions.
