Finally it's here.

No were not talking about Duke, UConn, Ga Tech or Ok State. With the referees in the bag Duke can't lose. No were talking about the Santa Anita Derby, Blue Grass Stakes, Wood Memorial, and Ark Derby.

After all the analysis of baby race winners, two year old stakes, early three year old preps you pretty much can throw all that out the window and zero in on these preps and their respective competitors. I know there are other races (Ill Derby, Lexington)but at his point in time they look like the NIT. Hey doesn't mean you can't bet on em.

The good news is that these are not single elimination events and there may losers who look as good as the winners or as far as sheets go EVEN FASTER. The bad news is that filling time in between we have to suffer thru races like the Apple Blossom, Oaklawn Hcp, Carter, Bayshore, Ashland, Commonwealth Breeders, etc, etc. I know, I know its kind of like watching Cindy Crawford take her clothes off and crawl into your bed every night--hey somebodys gotta do it right.

Not that I'm eagerly anticipating the upcoming events but are the sheets up yet. And I don't mean just for Saturday I talking about the next nine weeks--I've got work to do.

Good Luck
