Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer 3 times fair and square. Easy Goer cannot say the same.

Wow, I'm even happier I bought that Preakness Sunday Silence-Easy Goer finish line photo with autographs by Pat Valenzuela and Pat Day this week.

Stuff like this might drive the price up!

......not selling though.

It has a spot reserved on my wall above the Zenyatta 2009 Breeders Cup finish line photo autographed by Mike Smith. And below the Genuine Risk Kentucky Derby finish line photo autographed by Jacinto Vasquez.

And "back and to the left" of my "Kentucky Tavern 1986 Derby Winner 'Ferdinand' mirror."


I bet on Easy Goer in The Derby and The Preakness. But I pulled like heck for Sunday Silence and bet a little on him at Belmont as he went for The Triple Crown.

I may not have won any of my wagers, but in the spirit of Lou Gehrig I feel like a winner.

In my case, just for paying attention at the time, and making a point to be there.
