Race 8 will kill me; but I'll play anyway to support the industry.

7 1/2 is way too far for HDC. Keep her at six. Kennealy's horse looks like she could be a nice miler.

Congrats to Tom McCarthy! He just won the Turf Classic with General Quarters. I loved that group hug he got afterward. Best thing on the NBC coverage so far.

YAY, General Quarters. I so that horse. I screamed him home - they heard me at CD all the way from here in VA.

I am so happy, and Atta Boy Roy is the race before. What a wonderful day, so far.

Hmm..forgot all about that. I just remembered the one-horse stable thing and everybody sure was all warm and fuzzy celebrating after the win. Well I'm happy for the horse then. General Quarters is indeed very cool.

Yeah, I remember hearing that - Steve Haskin made an issue about it last year. Heard other stories directly opposite. I frankly don't give a damn. I LOVE THAT HORSE - GENERAL QUARTERS. And, I am soooooooo happy he won.

He overcame a lot - gotta give him and his jockey a lot of credit. It's going to make for a very interesting Preakness. I'm just glad Super Saver won, cuz that's who I bet on. Nothing earth shattering $5 across the board.

It took me a while to latch onto Super Saver, but I went with it because it was Calvin and because it was double SS's like in Street Sense. Hey, it worked.

There's Seattle Slew, as well. But, I just latched onto Calvin's win on another double S horse.

nice dig in by general quarters in the woodford...even better, seeing a bunch of last years derby horses back for another year. they may not be the best ever, but i'm glad to see it.

That IEAH rat cost me a bunch today not beating GQ. General Quarters was at least a viable alternative to him as the rest of the field had shown no soft turf form. I've certainly had worse beats. At least I didn't get to CD in time to play the pick 4, then I REALLY would have been nutty.

If you take away the Achient Title on synth, Atta Boy Roy may be a better horse than many of us thought he was, he ran a very good race yesterday on a track that didn't favor front runners.
