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.

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
