Do y'all remember when they did a Baltimore Colts and moved Ruffian's grave from Belmont to Claiborne without telling anyone? That was crazy. Amazing day on Racing Twitter.
If you knew the old account, or if someone shared this with you — I'd really appreciate a retweet. Not for vanity. Just to get back in front of people who actually care about racing photography.
Starting over at zero is humbling. Every follow genuinely means something this time around. #アーモンドアイ #賽馬 #競馬 #HorseRacing
@ballydolphin Awwww yeah!!! That makes me very happy. It's amazing how the brain works. Somewhere buried deep in my subconscious, you and Kegasus rule the world on magic flying carpets made exclusively from movie theater swatches.
Pretty clear the Triple Crown needs to be the First Saturday in May, June, and July.
Having them with well rested horses will be harder to win not easier, and more exciting to watch.
No one views Gallant Fox’s TC any different when he won the Preakness before the Derby.
@SuzanneBeckman If you reduce it that much yes that is the case, everyone wants to see a Triple Crown run. But if the horses are outright skipping the Preakness it will become irrelevant and people will stop caring about the Triple Crown like in England.
@ballydolphin@George1Glass Because it discounts the other triple crown winners who won it on two weeks rest. It's supposed to be difficult. You don't move the standards because you want to be more inclusive. That's a recipe for mediocrity.
There's been 13 Triple Crown winners. You absolutely CAN NOT destroy their legacies just to manufacture Triple Crown winners. That is complete bullshit! It one of the greatest athletic achievements in all of sports for a reason. Stop with this nonsense of changing the rules. It stinks of greed and selfishness.
