These two are exciting!

Although there probably won't be a triple crown winner this year, Dortmund and American Pharaoh look like they can bring us back to the glory years of racing.

As we near the Derby I can't help but hope for another year of racing like Easy Goer and Sunday Silence or Affirmed and Alydar.

I can see them trading victories in the triple crown and beyond. Visually they are two brilliant looking animals when they run. The other 18 in the derby are going to have their hooves full trying beat these guys.

They have a great chance to make something special happen. I hope it does.
