[b]I hope AP wins the Preakness. I want to hear NYRA's overpaid at any price
Chief Experience Officer explain how she decided to turn away up to 60,000
potential patrons and the revenue they could have generated, rather than
trying to gameplan for a huge crowd. The pathetic path of least resistance
taken by a management team which is not vested in the future of racing in
general and especially NY racing.[/b]

[b]The runner up in the Peter Pan is an Ontario Bred not nominated for the
Triple Crown. Would expect to see him in the QP, and based on a brief paddock
impression, would love to see him in the leg of the Canadian Triple Crown
which is run on turf (hoof shape).[/b]

[b]I wish they would wait for the Belmont with DivRod ("cheated" in the words
of one of those lovable and well named Dumb Ass Partners). Let this son of
Tapit (sire of Tonalist, last years' Belmont winner) prep in a sprint between
now and then. Let him catch a weary band of Derby and Preakness participants.
Another son of Tapit, Frosted, should be strong in front of this restricted crowd of 90,000[/b]
