36 years is too long without a TC winner.

That would be Affirmed.

I think I was in 8th grade (?)... weird, the things you remember.

Affirmed/Alydar rivalry was legendary. Racetrack people still talk about it. More people paid attention to it because we didn’t have 10 thousand tv channels to choose from back then either.

Yes a live thread would be good. This COULD be a historic moment. It’s time for another Triple Crown winner.

The hours of filler for a two minute event is worse than the Super Bowl pre pre pre-game show.

The crowd is roaring in the saddling paddack chanting "Go Chrome Go!"

CC is being saddled- He is calm and quiet. Looks great.

They called "Riders up"

I hope he wins too but if I was placing a bet it’d be on Samraat. 19 to 1 odds..
