Miff you make an interesting observation regarding Brother Derek. The entire field with the expection of Brother Derek posed for photos in the infield. Has anyone explained his absence? I was sitting in section 7 about 8 rows up and had a rather good view. It appeared to me that Barbaro was very keyed up and the extended warm up was an attempt to get Barbaro to relax. For those of us that were there Barbaro's breakdown was schocking but thankfully we weren't subjected to countless replays. It's also dissappointing that we aren't talking about Bernardini and his wonderful performance. Lastly, Pimilco race track is a tradgey. Water was pouring down from the ceiling in the mens bathroom and yes there's only one mens bathroom in the grandstand. The problems with the facility are too many to mention and Magna is doing nothing to improve it. The best thing that could happen to the Preakness Stakes is being moved to another venue. Maybe Frank has his mind set on the Preakness being run at Gulfstream Park.
