Gads what a nothing field this time. OK, just to make it interesting, since a victory by Mage will not buy a can of Fancy Feast:
1. National Treasure 2. Blazing Stevens 3. Mage 4. Red Route One
If you need me later, I will be with my dad who will probably be shirtless having lost his... Er... Never mind. Hi dad. I was just meowing about you.

Wow Jason Hopper! I am super impressed! How rare that one of us gets it just right & you got the whole superfecta too! You need to come here & place your picks more often!
We all got at least two of them though. Good job all around!

That is SO sad Athena!!!
I still cannot believe I got the superfecta (even if there were only seven horses.) Wowsers. Of course if I had bet really Fancy Feast they would still be waiting for at least one of my horses to cross the finish line.

Mommy has been super overworked, so I am just now replying. We liked that horse & are quite upset about this. There have been so many deaths lately & tons of scratches in races & US Congress is finally getting involved. It is high past time for horse racing reform. Mommy has written letters herself to many different charities, TV stations, media sites, you name it. This has got to stop.
The anti-doping rule finally took effect May 22nd. They need to ban the whips too in my humble opinion. They need to do alot of things. I am pressed for time now. I'll sit back & see what happens.

Here is PETA's statement:
Bob Baffert should get an Academy Award rather than the Preakness trophy. He acted on Saturday as though he had no idea how Havnameltdown could have shattered a bone at Pimlico. He stated, “We never had an issue with him,” and further suggested that the bump to the horse out of the gate may have contributed to the injury. But California records show that in April, Havnameltdown was administered a powerful corticosteroid injection in his leg joints, an indicator of extreme soreness. The horse is now dead—and Baffert’s career should be, too. The racing industry tolerates him at its own peril.
—PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo
