I liked him in the Derby and I'll stick with him now. I haven't had time to read the DRF. :)

It's Preakness Day-Barbaro favored over eight Preakness opponents.

Ping!

Hey!! I'm at work, probably won't be able to keep up!

Just wanted to say Barbaro is going to be hard to beat. I'm not a huge racing fan but I know enough to be dangerous. To me, the most impressive thing about the Derby win was that he looked fresh after the race. He looked like he was ready to go again. Speeds great but endurance wins Triple Crowns. The Derby was the most impressive Triple Crown race I've ever seen, with the exception of Secretariats Belmont. And I've been watching for 35 years.

What a beautiful race he ran in Kentucky. He deserves another win today.

I got the horse right here
The name is Paul Revere
And here's a guy that says that the weather's clear
Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse can do, can do, can do.

Can do - can do - this guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse can do - can do, can do.

For Paul Revere I'll bite
I hear his foot's all right
Of course it all depends if it rained last night

Likes mud, likes mud, this X means the horse likes mud
If that means the horse likes mud, likes mud
Likes mud.

I tell you Paul Revere
Now this is no bum steer
It's from a handicapper that's real sincere
Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do.
If he says the horse can do - can do - can do.
Paul Revere. I got the horse right here.

BENNY
I'm pickin' Valentine, 'cause on the morning line
A guy has got him figured at five to nine
Has chance, has chance, this guy says the horse has chance
if he says the horse has chance, has chance, has chance

I know it's Valentine, the morning work looks fine
Besides the jockey's brother's a friend of mine
Needs race, needs race, this guy says the horse needs race
If he says the horse needs race, needs race, needs race.
I go for Valentine, 'Cause on the morning line,
The guy has got him figured at five to nine
Has chance, has chance, this guy says the horse has chance
Valentine! I got the horse right here.

RUSTY CHARLIE
But look at Epitaph. he wins it by a half
According to this here in the Telegraph
"Big Threat" - "Big Threat"
This guy calls the horse "Big Threat"
If he calls the horse "Big Threat",
Big Threat, Big Threat.

And just a minute, boys.
I've got the feed box noise
It says the great-grandfather was Equipoise
Shows class, shows class.
This guy says the horse shows class
If he says the horse shows class
Shows class, show's class.

So make it Epitaph, he wins it by a half
According to this here in the Telegraph.
Epitaph! I got the hore right here!

What's with CITGO sponsoring the race? I think I'll turn my channel to something else...

Was "Maryland my Maryland" sung to the tune of "O' Christmas Tree"?

Well, I am very very sad about Barbaro.


But I am happy for Bernardini. Today in the Catholic Church is the feast day of Saint Bernardine. So I am glad I went to mass today to learn that. :-) $
