I never understood why the Kentucky Derby was in May. Why not December?
A lot of 3 year olds develop later in the year.

I imagine Churchill will be a sloppy mess?

another year where one standout dominated a seemingly weak group. but then there was j.o. tobin in the swaps.

slew would be remembered as a 3crown champion regardless but his 4yo campaign removed the question marks.

big brown is likely going to have to do it all this year.

i question the likelihood he has an a.p. indy in him.


Slew dusted JO Tobin in the Preakness.

I could be wrong, but I am guessing if Run Dusty Run was around now he would be the darling of message boards ( along with Jatski ). Hell, Silver Series was no slouch ( though I doubt Slew faced him ) as he was second to Forego in the Woodward after running third to the aforementioned two in the Travers.

Whirlaway is the only horse ever to win the TC and the Travers. Will BB try to equal this record if he wins the TC ?

I wonder if there will ever be another horse to win the TC who made his dirt debut in an off the turf race. THAT would be a much bigger feat.
