Back to back years in the early 90s the Derby Trial winner placed in the Preakness.

It's a good decision. I'm hoping this will catch on in other sports. Like boxing. Have about 6 fights and retire and have your trainer talk about how great you were. It would help the sport tremendously.

Or having Rafael Nadal only play the French, then Federer just plays U.S. so as to assure we don't tire these poor guys out.

They've done enough. I'm looking forward to Nadal and Federer offspring, and we can keep the cycle going.
