That it was

My first comment was who names their horse Dan. Sadly I don’t think there is a triple crown this year. MD looked to be losing ground close to finish line.

I had Sierra Leone across the board for $20 , it would have been nice to get all 3 payouts but at least I made a little money

Clearly you’ve never watched The Sting.

Looks like the next two races will be very evenly matched.

Sierra Leone ran a longer race and in one more step he would have crossed first..... I felt bad for his owner.

Sierra got bumped too which could have cost him the race arround the turn.

Mystic Dan's jockey gave the horse a perfect ride.
Just enough left in the tank to get over the line.

Did a great job

All the HYPE re Fierceness. then phffffffft. Virtually NOTHING after the race.

We watched about 20 min total of that looonnnnng broadcast. I think it was 4 hours long.

It was a great race, right to the end.

We broke even - no $$$$ on anything...

Today's horses aren't worthy to carry Secretariat's saddlebags.

Just about 3 seconds slower? Maybe secretariat rams against slugs? Next fastest horse to secretariat 5 tens slower?

Mystic Dan’s owner has not commented to Preakness. Maybe a last minute decision.

I posted I didn’t think there would be a triple this year. Will see

Would loved to have seen Secretariat's 'diet' in those days. Bonds, McGwire and Sosa could've picked up a few pointers!
