Why bring this back? For several reasons:
- With no Triple Crown on the line, the next couple of weeks are somewhat blech.
- Niether Super Saver or Lookin at Lucky are going to the Belmont, so I can't talk about a rubber match between them
- The last time niether the Derby and Preakness winners where in the Belmont was 2006 when Barbaro (injury) and Bernardini (I believe the Preakness took too much out of him). Jazil won the race, and did nothing afterwards, although his little siblings are Rags to Riches, Casino Drive and Man of Iron.
- Quality Road (who should be the overwhelming Met Mile favorite this year) > This year's Belmont field
One of the days, I'm not planning to it is Thursday when I will be having a Live Chat begging at 7:30pm (this is a new time, in all likelyhood a one time thing). In this Chat, I will be announcing the Summer Chat Series. I can't say much other then the chats in all likelyhood will be sometime in the second half of the work week (haven't decided on a day yet).
Also I hope everyone has a chance to nominate a blog and/or online magazine for the HRBA. Something I don't think I've mentioned this before, but the nomination doesn't have to be Thoroughbred only, I've included catagories for Standardbred, Arabian and Quarter Horses as well.
