Blame may have once “broken America's heart,” but for the horsemen who have spent the past two decades with the champion, he had already won theirs from the start. Meet the caretakers of Blame at @ClaiborneFarm in this episode of Hands on History. Produced with @theTDN.

@archi_tradition Florence and I am not sure it's particularly close. Venice is a strange place. Worth seeing but I got big time Alice In Wonderland vibes there and the canal system was confusing for me.

@MGbingo26 @RacingDFS When the Preakness moves to 3 weeks after the Derby and Belmont (who holds all of the leverage here) laughs at them and does nothing, holding the marquee event of their year whenever the hell they want...exactly what changes??

@RacingDFS No way the Preakness should be kept at 2 weeks after the Derby. Too short for modern standards. Moving the Preakness back makes the Triple Crown harder (bigger fields), not easier.

on the Preakness move, 2 things - IF the Preakness moves to a streaming platform it’s a massive L for the sport’s growth - IF the Belmont moves to 6 weeks (very likely), then the Triple Crown is dead … no horse will wheel back in 2 weeks to run 12 panels, NYRA will move

@realtueltime @RacingDFS I spend Memorial Day weekend at the Indy 500 and 4th of July weekend in wine country, would have zero time to handicap, bet or watch any of the races. I am sure many people have similar traditions on these summer holiday weekends. Net result of doing this = lower handle.

@RacingDFS First Saturday in May Memorial Day Weekend 4th of July (or that weekend) Make racing the focal point of the summer holidays. 4 week and 4 weeks doesn’t make it easier for the Derby winner. Couldn’t it make it harder with new shooters and full rest for best challengers???

The NFL Draft (April 23-25) will be full of trades, although maybe not too many in the first round. @dpbrugler only has one trade scenario in this seven-rounder, with the Dallas Cowboys moving into the top 10 to get their guy.

@MarkTho71678536 @AP My dude I already sent you the chart. Facts are facts. You seem like a good guy and an American who is just frustrated and I feel ya. But some advice, just try to be less negative. The economy is fine and it’s going to be okay. It’s been way worse in very recent history.

@MonarchosMatt @AP You can’t act like prices, inflation, gas, oil, electricity aren’t up since Trump took over again. Unless you are like his press secretary who thinks gas prices are lower now.

The Labor Department reported that its producer price index — which measures inflation before it hits consumers — rose 0.5% from February and 4% from March 2025. The year-over-year gains was the biggest in more than three years. apnews.com/article/inflat…

@MarkTho71678536 @AP The scale matters here. You can’t act like it’s a big deal because of the % increase, lol. If CPI went from 0.1% to 0.2% would you start screaming about a 100% increase? That makes no sense at all. Your eggs would go from $2.00 to $2.02. Find something else to be mad about…

@MarkTho71678536 @AP Again, 3.3% CPI with rates at 5.75% and 3.3% with rates at 3.75% are not the same thing. But generally speaking, sure, but I wasn’t okay with 9.2% CPI and you shouldn’t have been either. No American should, and I’m not even saying it was all Biden’s fault.

@MarkTho71678536 @AP You’re trying to make a big deal about the difference between 2.9 and 3.3% but were apparently completely okay with enduring > 8.0% for an entire year. That doesn’t make any logical sense. Maybe sit with that and reconcile it. I can’t have intelligent debate with inconsistencies.

@MonarchosMatt @AP Once again were you complaining about 2.9 percent? Or cheering like it was 3.3 percent an 19 percent increase since Trump took office?

@MarkTho71678536 @AP Cool. Now do 2022. It’s ok if you can’t grasp the math behind what I’m trying to explain to you, I’m tired of putting forth the effort. Bottom line dude you are crying about 3% CPI with stocks up 15%. It’s your choice to complain. Personally I will just enjoy the profit.

@MonarchosMatt @AP The White House Press Secretary falsely claims gas prices have fallen over the past year. On this day in 2025, the National average price was $3.17. Today, the national average is $4.12. Who is being disingenuous?

@MarkTho71678536 @AP And also citing a CPI number from when Biden left office is bad math at best and disingenuous at worst. It’s easy to attain a 2.9% CPI when you’ve been running 8-9% for over a year and the Fed has hiked rates into oblivion to clean up the mess. You have to add the YoY together…

@MonarchosMatt @AP Quick history 101 lesson. The infantion rate when Biden left office was 2.9% current rate 3.3% about 14 percent hike. GDP 4th quarter 2024 under Biden 2.4% GDP 4th quarter 2025 under Trump 0.5%

@MichaelKCMO @geoffschwartz That’s certainly an option I would think. I will for sure be watching that market. Seems like WR at +300 or so would be a pretty good bet in that scenario.

The Chiefs desperately need edge pass rusher, cornerback and possibly WR early in the draft. Ppl in the know keep mocking Tyson at 9 and now Lomu at 29. So an injury prone WR and an OT who wouldn’t start this season. Seems like I’m wrong about their plans.
Josh Norris@JoshNorris

Here is Schrags selecting Caleb Lomu at No. 29 to the Chiefs with the tag "I'm not sure about Josh Simmons and I'm not sure they have the depth" put it on the radar! youtube.com/watch?v=H858hv…

@MarkTho71678536 @AP 3.3 is fine, historically below average. You’re splitting hairs here. And stocks are RIPPING. More than offsets whatever difference you are worried about if you invest even somewhat intelligently.

@MichaelKCMO @geoffschwartz I mean Vegas isn’t robbing anyone, that isn’t how lines work… they move because people are betting real money on them, for whatever reason. I tried to explain above best I could but I think it simply comes down to a BPA situation if their top corner and top edge guy are gone.

@MonarchosMatt @geoffschwartz I’m aware there has been a lot of bad reporting on it and Vegas is trying to rob everybody in the aftermath but I was more expecting a football reason why
