- “I’m 61 years old, and in my lifetime, I’ll never see another Triple Crown winner because of the way they do this.”
- Only fitting on the day we lose Alphabet Soup that central Kentucky is suddenly covered in a blanket of white.
- After this year’s #KyDerby result, can we finally put an end to the practice of ditching the local rider that got a horse to the big dance for a name-brand jockey? It never seems to work, and it makes you look like a huge jerk when you take them off the mount.
- Code of Honor might have the coolest promotional prop in all of Kentucky’s stallion ranks. He just arrived today at @LanesEndFarms.
- When I left for Kentucky ten years ago, I said I was going to bring an Eclipse Award back to Mount Pleasant Meadows. It took a year longer than planned, but I am a man of my word.
- An EXTREMELY well-deserved hose-down for Preakness winner Journalism.
- Before she was Horse of the Year, @Thorpedo_Anna proved she could take one heck of a selfie. Congrats to a deserving winner.
- I think we all need to take a moment and recognize @KeibaKate as one of the MVPs of this year's Breeders' Cup. Her work recruiting Japanese connections has changed the shape of the card, and its results.
- The most obvious solution to the situation with Arlington Park is Mattress Mack swooping in to take the track off CDI's hands and renaming it Runhappy Downs. He'd be the biggest hero this sport has seen in ages.
- Friendly Reminder: According to Coburn rules, the only horse in today's #BelmontStakes field that isn't a coward is War of Will.
- I’m not saying @Thorpedo_Anna is my professional or sentimental pick for the Travers Stakes. What I AM saying is I’ve never gotten a smooch from Fierceness.
- If this were any race besides the Derby, Sierra Leone gets taken down to third, right?
- If not for Lemon Drop Kid, we wouldn’t have Blueberry. For that, I’ll always be grateful.
