Another year with no Triple Crown contender as both Kentucky Derby winner Super Savor and Preakness winner Lookin at Lucky are not running.

The current 8-5 favorite is Ice Box was IMO the best horse in the Derby but had a AWFUL trip, could not find a way through. And when he finally did it was too late, he still finished second.

First Dude is currently 7-2 coming off a second place finish at the Preakness. Couldn't hold off Lucky at the end.

My picks are:

Ice Box

First Dude

Spangled Star

Stately Victor

and

Uptowncharlybrown

Yea I love horse racing.

Live about an 15 minutes away from Arlington Park in Arlington Heights, IL.

Usually there once every week. Bet on the races at home or head to the OTB.

DTV offers a channel called TVG, which is a horse racing channel, so it's pretty easy to keep up with news. Plus there are numerous web-sites.

As for why....I just love the sport. To me it's the most exciting 2 minutes in all of sports, no matter what race it is.

Plus I have a HUUUUUUUUUGE gambling problem.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
