Is finishing 7th now considered glorious?

Does it really matter? I doubt anyone but us regulars will have a scant interest in watching.

Honestly, I can't believe that they aren't playing the Borel/Castellano card at all. Obviously, the real fans know it's a non story, but then again the real fans know that Chantal sucks too. They would probably be able to draw more people in, with hopes of there being a fight in the winners circle again versus some angle about a female jock that no one outside of racing has probably ever heard of.

If this angle is going to be played up, will Game on Dude be a massive underlay, like Pants on Fire was in the Derby?

I agree to a point. After all, Zenyatta (sorry to mention the name) was a massive underlay in last year's Classic.

Grown men showed up in pink and teal, what did you expect? I don't think you'll see any of them sporting Chantal t-shirts.
