You could also get pins for every single other Derby entrant on the track premises, so I wouldn't read too much into that one.

" The Race is On " is an old bluegrass tune that they played acoustically way back and played a handful of times over the years. In 300 some odd shows I think the only time I heard it was at MSG in 1993.

i can envision the post derby trainer interview a few years down the road.

" I'd like to thank Tide, Wendys, Purina, Jiffy Lube and Amazon.com for their great support again this year..."

"Yeah, the IEAH presented by UPS 10 horse was real solid today. I have to thank the guys back in the barn who really made this happen. We were really good in testing earlier this week, so I knew I had the horse to win, but couldn't have done it without UPS. This just shows what Brown really can do for you."

I was thinking of naming a horse "Butterfingerblizzard" for obvious reasons.

I can see why the story behind the origin of the name "Big Brown" was switched from Phil Lesh to UPS. Phil Lesh just doesn't have the same...er...marketing prowess.

Unless you're going for the liver transplant angle.
