I feel bad for the young jockey, Mario Gutierrez. He's from tracks around here (Santa Anita) and others around here. (Yes Klein,he emigrated through Canada)

His derby ride was his derby debut. Someone took a chance on him and he did really well.....and then again in the Preakness. The triple crown win would've been his golden ticket!!! He'll still do OK, but he would've been on every magazine cover.

Tribute to Secretariat , not the last triple crown winner, but certainly one of the most memorable

All three legs of the triple crown:

Secretariat - Kentucky Derby 1973 - YouTube


This second leg, the Preakness , is one of my favorites, Look at what Secretariat did from last place from 31 seconds on in the video.

And to remove any doubt, Secretariat winning the Belmont Stakes:

When they were walking the horses to the gate.....I picked the #6 because it was the prettiest. He took the lead and never gave it up !! Too bad I didn't bet anything.

I think Chrome will get upset in Belmont. All of the other good horses sat out the Preakness to prepare for the Belmont.
