Kentucky Derby Recap

Well, I hope you all saved some money and didn't take my Derby recommendations.  At least Exaggerator was closing fast and put in a good second place showing.  Destin was in the lead group at the top of the stretch but fell back badly in the last half of the stretch to finish sixth - not too bad for such a longshot.  Nyquist, the favorite and the winner, looked strong the whole way - the horse is undefeated in eight races and, as my sister, a part-owner of some thoroughbreds, once said, "all the horses enjoy getting out there and running, but only a few special ones seem to understand this human concept of winning."  Well, Nyquist looks like he gets it. So, could it be two Triple Crowns in a row, just like Secretariat and Affirmed in 1977 and 1978...We'll see you at the Preakness!
