Two days after my return from Louisville (including a two-plus hour wait at the airport to check my bags at the Continental Airlines counter - didn't they EXPECT a big rush the day after the biggest race of the year?) I am back in the office preparing for some late-season high school action. Tonight: Saratoga Springs boys lacrosse!
As for the Derby, it was an absolutely spectacular experience, and a fantastic show by Street Sense to boot. The crowd was electric and the weather was sensational. Now, we can look forward to the Preakness. Already, it seems Street Sense and second-place finisher Hard Spun are gos for the race at Pimlico Race Course. Also, third-place runner Curlin could go, as could Sedgefield, and Teuflesberg. None of the horses Todd Pletcher ran in the Derby are being pointed to the Preakness, but he does have King of the Roxy ready to go. Also, D. Wayne Lukas could get back into theTriple Crown racing scene with a horse or two, as could Nick Zito.
Plenty can happen between now and May 19, so don't start making those exotic bets just yet. One thing is for sure, though: don't worry about a 20-horse field.
