Race 8 will kill me; but I'll play anyway to support the industry.

My buddy has the simple syrup already prepared. It's hard to chill those things. They are tough out of the gate, but they get better with time.

Pretty damn ridiculous. Battaglia's made some weird choices this weekend. Jackson Bend at 15-1?

7 1/2 is way too far for HDC. Keep her at six. Kennealy's horse looks like she could be a nice miler.

Congrats to Tom McCarthy! He just won the Turf Classic with General Quarters. I loved that group hug he got afterward. Best thing on the NBC coverage so far.

YAY, General Quarters. I so that horse. I screamed him home - they heard me at CD all the way from here in VA.

I am so happy, and Atta Boy Roy is the race before. What a wonderful day, so far.

Hmm..forgot all about that. I just remembered the one-horse stable thing and everybody sure was all warm and fuzzy celebrating after the win. Well I'm happy for the horse then. General Quarters is indeed very cool.

Yeah, I remember hearing that - Steve Haskin made an issue about it last year. Heard other stories directly opposite. I frankly don't give a damn. I LOVE THAT HORSE - GENERAL QUARTERS. And, I am soooooooo happy he won.

He overcame a lot - gotta give him and his jockey a lot of credit. It's going to make for a very interesting Preakness. I'm just glad Super Saver won, cuz that's who I bet on. Nothing earth shattering $5 across the board.

It took me a while to latch onto Super Saver, but I went with it because it was Calvin and because it was double SS's like in Street Sense. Hey, it worked.
