Hey CtC if you closely at that picture Dickinson is pushing his finger down as hard as he can, you see how deep he is getting don't you.

As Jerry alluded to earlier there was major work performed on the track all day long and as you said why would someone not believe that work would preformed on the track on any given day.

No Wayne didn't mentioned anything about having one Triple Crown but he did follow his "Make that 4 Oaks" remark with "and it would have been 7 but I ran Althea, Winning Colors and Serenas Song in the Derby instead". (just kidding there)

As another sidebar Wayne was saddling in stall 12 and Baffert was in stall 11. After having introduced Eli to Wayne as "The King" ,which he is, we stepped back off the apron as the horses began to enter the paddock. At that point Baffert called out to Eli to come over. I had just washed my hands, they were clean, no reason for me to get them soiled shaking his, so I stayed put.

When Eli returned he asked inquisitively--"Who was that??"

I told him the truth--"A Racing Nobody".
