Ironically, I still think Easy Goer was one of the most beautiful racehorses. :lol:...

Think today proved that the Fair Grounds got a good crop of 3-year-olds this year, especially after 2012 Louisiana Derby turned out to be no more than an allowance race.
Lecomte - Oxbow won and came back to win the Preakness, Runner up Golden Soul was runner up in the Derby.

Point Given was awesome. Did you see the video of Gary Stevens visiting him a few years back? He still gets choked up to talk about that Derby because he blames himself for going out too fast....

Yup, people automatically want to say it's the Belmont, but ironically, many of the BEST horses never to win the Triple Crown (Spectacular Bid not included), messed up in the other two legs.
1920 - Man o War didn't run in the Derby.
1953 - Native Dancer lost his only race in the Derby.
1967 - ...

Haha no kidding!
I just really thought Orb was better than that. I should have known better, considering how much he was drifting out coming home in the Derby. I just kind of chalked it up to them all being tired.
Great rides by Gary and Rosie for sure.
ETA: Honestly, if Orb had been owne...

That was a great ride by Gary. Jumped on the lead and slowed the pace waaaay down. Prevented closers like Mylute from doing anything.
Laughed at some people who bought the Goldencents and Governor Charlie hype.
...But then I bought the Orb hype. :wah:
Had him on top of all my bets, includi...

That's the beauty of it. It's almost impossible to do. Changing it up would just cheapen things.
It was 25 years between Secretariat and Citation's Triple Crowns. Maybe people thought after Riva Ridge struggled home fourth in the Preakness that we'd never see another Triple Crown winner.

Depressing...but good for Gary. This one definitely stings though.
And that's not the real Calumet. Those days are gone. Have read Wild Ride and fully believe they killed Alydar for insurance money before the farm went belly up. ...

I do think this will be a better race for Goldencents...was a victim of that crazy pace in the Derby. Just don't think he'll win.
I thought Itsmyluckyday would run much better in the Derby than he did, so what do I know? :lol:

The way people are talking him up this week, you'd think he didn't finish up the track in the Derby! :lol:
I do think Will Take Charge had a legit excuse in the Derby though, ran right into Verrazano and had to be checked....

His trainer would have preferred an outside post since Orb prefers to close or sit midpack. It's not ideal for his running style, but I think he'll be okay. I would expect Goldencents to go straight to the lead. Mylute and Departing will be sitting back too.
Titletown Five will also go to the lea...

How about Mylute being the second betting choice ahead of Departing? Interesting. ...
