401. It Looks Like Calvin Borel's Kentucky Derby Luck Has Run Out - No Roses This Year?
April 20, 2011

April 19, 2011
Okay, now I don’t know what to make of the Kentucky Derby picture this year. Each week, things just become more and more confusing as the never-ending stream of upsets continues.

406. Triple Crown Flashback Man o' War Could Have Been the Second Triple Crown Winner
April 19, 2011
In 1920, when Man o’ War was a three year old, the Triple Crown wasn’t seen as the holy grail of horse racing.

409. Secretariat's Track Record Not in Jeopardy This Year
April 18, 2011
Is it just me or is this year’s prospective Kentucky Derby field, excepting Uncle Mo (who is now out of the running) and maybe The Factor, unusually weak?
