LOUISVILLE, Ky. – There’s really nothing normal about this, not at all.
Stuff 20 3-year-old horses into a metal contraption. Surround them with about 150,000 cheering fans, many lunatics fortified for the previous eight hours with alcoholic beverages. Have them run 1 1/4 miles with tiny, brave humans on their backs. Make them turn left a couple of times. See which one emerges first. Then throw roses on that horse’s back.

These are the two best tools I’ve ever seen to handicap the Derby.

I’m a Derby junkie, it’s my Super Bowl. Baffert has been a non entity on all the handicapping shows I’ve seen. It’s like, oh sure, Yakteen would have had and trained these horses into the Derby. Baffert, who’s Baffert? I did see Yakteen asked if he talked to Baffert. The guy about swallowed his tongue denying ANY contact. I hope Baffert’s colts take the exacta.
Does your wife yell “Move your blooming a@@ Dover!” ??? :)

“Time to watch to watch the greatest race ever run again, Secretariat’s Belmont Triple Crown run. It never gets old.”
Truly never gets old.
The Diane Lane movie is not bad either, usually watch it after the old films of the real thing.
“He’s moving like a tremendous machine”
boy oh boy...Mo Donegal...Todd PLetcher and Irad at 9-1????.....gimme that all day.
absolutely the greatest race call ever...Chic Anderson’s voice was steadily rising...sensing what was happening..but also, he didn’t scream at the top of his lungs at the end....the best.
Let’s go Zandon. I think Zandon will win. Imagine the crowd saying Let’s go Zandon... Maybe, NBC will think it is saying FJB... 🤓
