I saw they took Classic Causeway away from Brian Lynch.

Owners can be so dumb sometimes

Crazy. I wonder if they were insisting on following a bad path and Lynch just couldn't abide by it anymore.

If you want to find out about someone, give them a good horse.

Steve, sorry for your loss. You’ll be in my thoughts.

I feel like the filly has one of the best pedigrees for this race (in my opinion of course). I'm not sure that We The People will get the distance for the win. Anyone else have an opinion regarding the pedigrees? It just always seems like pedigree plays a huge role in this race each year.

Moses.. Thanks very much. He was as wonderful and nurturing a father as a boy, and man, could hope to have. As I wrote publicly, he led a heroic life, ripped from his own fatherless childhood in Austria at 10 (1939) to arrive here with $10 after the Nazis had stolen everything else from him and his mother. My brother and I have been incredibly fortunate to have him remain in our lives 62 and 56 years respectively.

Thanks again. Am thoroughly grateful for the overwhelming messages of support I've received, particularly from listeners who feel like they know him..

Hard for most of us to imagine how people endured such hardship. Very sorry for your loss.
