I wish I could turn back the clock to the 70s, and the dead rails of Belmont, so people could see what a dead rail really looks like.

Oh, I didn't mean any of that as a personal opinion. I really couldn't recall why Afleet Alex had a "bad" trip in the Derby and had a vague recollection that this was the excuse.

Basically, I used the intial post about Afleet Alex to use as a springboard to rant about other, more interesting Triple Crown years that don't involve Giacomo...

God, I wish I was still in my 20s.

I've lived in my apartment for 20 years.

I love it when PID posts hijack a Triple Crown thread. That's good stuff.

Threads evolve - this one was only about the 740,000th about why AA lost the Derby - to the supposed dead rail that did him and madcap escapade in - to the great dead rails of the 70's - to the great dead rails of the new synthetic era.

Not every thread can be epic - if that was the case all we'd ever have to talk about is how amazingly good looking I am.
