There's a wicked looking thunderstorm cell moving across southern Indiana, looking like it's making a beeline for Louisville. Maybe 2 hours out. It's so isolated it almost looks like an anomaly. Hopefully it'll break up soon.

I agree. He prompted the pace the whole way and it took a track record to beat him.

He'll probably win after I say this but how is a horse like the 6 shorter than the 10?

Did I just read they're evacuating the infield because of the severe weather? I reckon they don't want another situation like what happened at that concert in Indiana last year.

Shoot, it stormed like a motherf-er in the minutes before the Oaks back in 2008 and CD didn't evacuate a soul.

I'm surprised the pletcher isn't getting more attention.

Must be the distance.
