Well now that is a pity. Kind of makes this Triple Crown a cakewalk this year as any horse that would have half a chance at a challenge has scratched the last 2 races. We'll see.

DH was just saying they may race Big Brown in Travers and Breeders Cup before retirement. I'm thinking roadtrip to Saratoga if that happens.

I don't do horse bets. I pray none of the horses get hurt. They are sch beautiful animals.

I dont know anything about horse racing. But, I am rooting for Big Brown. I think we're due for a triple crown winner.

And, if Big Brown wins it this year, I expect there to be another triple crown winner next year.

My friend is in charge of security for Big brown. He works for UPS and Big Brown has become there mascot. They even let Big brown into the plant and he craped in there. From what I was told an employee will get fired for just spiting on the floor but they allowed a horse in to crap on the floor.

I like Tale of Ekati's breeding for the distance so he's my choice for 2nd today.

I'm going with Big Brown to win, Icabod Crane to place and Denis of Cork to show.

Lawren,

Whomever comes closest owes the other a beer at Zum in the fall, OK? Two hours to go, I'm so excited.

Lawren,

First the Giants handing that one really big loss to the Patriots and now maybe a Triple Crown winner this afternoon. He will only be the 12th horse to accomplish this. I'm a happy sports person this year.

I like weisbier with a little raspberry. They used to make it for me way downtown at Volks.

That was GREAT!

Some people can recite presidents. I've always been able to recite the Triple Crown Champions.

Are you ready for some history Joe? Big Brown can join Big Red on that list.
