Did you hear Borel say to two people that “I’m goinig to win the Triple Crown on this horse”? The sport sure could use that — it’s been 32 years.
Super saver has the same initials as the last Triple Crown winner, Seattle Slew.

Ice BoxAlmost. An excellent challenge. He could make teh otehr two races intersting, especially the Belmont (the long one.)

Nope, I missed that. It'd be a great thing. I don't follow horse racing like I did years and years ago, but I try not to miss the Triple Crown races.
SEATTLE SLEW <
They're such beautiful critters. He had a kind eye.

That was your thread, TBP. You didn't even pick a horse?

I’m usually a late bettor anyway — I like to see the horses down in the paddock. The walk from the paddock is the best I can do for that on TV.

It’s been 32 years since Slew and we need a Triple Crown.
I had the good fortunre to be at Belmont Park on June 9, 1973 when Secretariat won his Triple Crown.

Thank you. He had an awful trip. Depending on who shows up that missed this dance hes either favorite or no worse than 3rd choice in the Preakness. If no new horses show (some big ones missed it due to injury)Ice Box is probably favored. I’d guess he was 5 lengths the best but that’s why they call it gambling.

You’re right — for some reason, I seem to reverse the order on Seattle Slew and Affirmed.
