One of my favorite days of the year. Never been to the Travers as I'm not into crowds but I've been to many a Bama day.

It's never totally safe to say it, but surely the Alabama is close to a one-horse race.

Tell A Great Story is scratched from the Alabama. She broke out in hives this morning.

I little surprised the field is not deeper for the Alabama, no one else in the Country has a 3yo filly program really competing with that race.

I'm watching the toteboard for the Alabama, and with 14 MTP, someone just popped about $35K on Galloping Giraffe to show.

It was cute watching Mary Lou and the woman who got to place the 15K wager.
