Default Does anyone else feel this way?

I can't put my finger on it, but for the first time in forever I just have no interest/feeling in watching the derby. Reasons could be, I am personally so drained/horsed out after spending the entire Oaks day card at Belmont yesterday. I feel like I had so much vested yesterday with the great card, weather and day to myself that nothing today can replacate it. Obviously the weather just complicates everything today as well. It just makes a race with no real standouts or tosses for that matter, a bit harder than it already is. I usually have a strong opinion on the race, it's usually wrong but it's still an opinion. Like I said, it just seems that wide open today that it's almost like playing the lottery. Also the race hasn't even been run and it seems like the Triple Crown fever is dead or really has never got started. So what kind of excitement is today's winner going to generate. The race is most likely going to be a toss for everyone involved, due to the slop.
Maybe it's just me maturing and realizing that this is a very tough spot to waste/make some money even if you have an opinion, let alone have absolutely no feel at all. I'll probably end up putting in a small bet. Not sure I'll be home to see the race live, but it really doesn't seem to faze me. Going to try to take advantage of the beautiful day here in the northeast with the family. It's probably just me, but does anyone else feel this way?
