It doesn't sound like I missed much not getting NBC Sports Network, but it would have been nice to have seen the Oaks in real time!

Untapable to the Preakness???

If her stablemate runs well enough to move on to the Preakness, are they not allowed to have more than one entry?

If you think you have two horses that can win a Triple Crown race, why leave one in the barn?

If Tapiture won and you're sitting with the top colt and filly....You give the colt a chance at the TC. I believe that's Steve's point.

I think they wait and see also.

I feel bad for the people who bet fashion plate!! That was ridiculous that they did not pull her out of the gate and look at her. It sure looked like she got tangled up in the gate. Gary Stevens jumped right back on her and that was a mistake. But those who bet on her got screwed!!
