I guess two things happened, the good horses all scratched for various reasons in the weeks leading up to the race and one horse loved the off-going....and the rest just aren't that good or completely didn't show up.

Today's Derby, which had a great deal of promise a month ago, ended up being a shell of its possible self, and one run on a sloppy surface that ultimately answered few questions. But at least it didn't produce a slew of undeserved accolades. For that I am thankful.
Why? You're above caring about the Kentucky Derby. Remember?

My concern about the KY Derby is solely tied to your blog.

I sent DrugS my last black and white photo w/autograph. So if this is your way of asking for one, you'll have to wait until after the Preakness.
