That dog was not exactly a greyhound, but he got the job done. Looked like for a moment there that the Chad/Irad combo was going to spoil the party, but seems like if you give a Baffert trained horse the lead, they rarely give it up.
I watched a bit more telecast yesterday than usual. Randy Moss was advocating for more time between the Triple Crown races. He said it should be the first Saturday in May and then same in June and July and there probably wouldn't be a small field like we saw yesterday. Probably right about that, but can't see it changing anytime soon.
The folks that say that track maintenance people make tracks speed up on big days seem to be supported by the results yesterday. I think there were at least 3 track records set.
I was talking with my grandson yesterday and he seems to be getting interested in racing. I told him he should join our group, but doubt if he will. In college at the University of Arkansas. His mother probably wouldn't appreciate my siren's song just yet.
