@ThruTheBridle It was a slow race.. Taj Mahal and Napoleon Solo aren't slow horses. This was a tactical race
English
@Tylersousa20 I see your point but moving the Whitney would interfere with other Breeders Cup qualifying races
English
@Shawn_Van_V You most certainly can! In the 1800’s the Preakness was run before the derby and no one won the triple crown so they changed it. We also moved it for Construction and Covid so. Again I am not for the change this was just a cool idea that came to mind and for people who wantchange
English
Best fix to this Triple Crown debate:
You can run for 2 crowns, The Triple Crown & The Grand Crown
1st Saturday in May = Kentucky Derby
1st Saturday in June = Preakness
1st Saturday in July = Belmont
1st Saturday in August = Travers
1st Saturday in November = The BC Classic

@themancalledroy @seattleracing Cherie is not greedy. Thank you, next.
English
@seattleracing LOl She isn't making the call for the horse. She is making it for her pocketbook. That "statement" was a steaming pile of BS because she refuses to admit she is greedy.
English
to sum it up:
we shouldn't move the preakness.
horses are skipping out on races due to bigger and more important, long term factors (such as breeding).
cherie made the right call for this horse.
cherie made the call in a much more tasteful way than last year.
English
God forbid we do what is best by the horse. Deep closer and speed favoring track while preserving long term health... got it
Mark Zinno@MarkZinno
Translation: We were a 23-1 long-shot to win the Derby and don’t think we would win the shorter track against a horse like Renegade again. So we will preserve our horse’s health — AHEM! “Value” — and get the max we can for future stud fees. Gutless horse owners have killed this sport. They prioritize money over wins and legacy. She’s not the first, nor the last do this. It’s just destroyed this once insanely popular sport.

Oof… scrolling through hrt and regular twitter and seeing “she needs to learn to control her emotions”…
Go ahead and tell that to every one of our male counterparts that scream their horses home and we gladly cheer with them. IF YOU MAKE IT IN THE GATE OF ANY RACE YOU DESERVE TO FEEL EVERY SINGLE EMOTION EVERY SINGLE TIME

Apparently telling a hockey ref he should watch Diving in the Summer Olympics is bounds for being kicked out...

@seattleracing He jogs different... xrays were fine and the PET scan results doesn't increse the likelihood of a breakdown. This is retaliatory by Nick Smith because he doesn't like Kenny McPeek for calling him out
English
@Shawn_Van_V he's been lame for days now. everyone noticed. everyone was waiting for the scratch.

Next yr there will be 10 also Eligibles for the Ky Derby due to Mr Scratch Smith
English
@BeatriceWolcock @PR_ChelseaH The horse isn't lame. The horse jogs different. Just like every one of them
English
@PR_ChelseaH But compromised movement of any kind is a reason for increased rate of breakdown… how is nobody acknowledging that fact? The horse has bone bruising. He’s lame. And he still wants to race him? Gross.
English
One of the best experts we have said the PET scan results were "most likely not associated with an increased risk for breakdown."

McPeek said the scratched Kentucky Derby horse underwent both X-rays and a PET scan; check out the link for more comments from the frustrated trainer: paulickreport.com/news/triple-cr…

Name a horse ScratchNSmith and race him in Kentucky please @KennyMcPeek
English
Kentucky needs to get their Vet situation figured out. Scratching horses because "I don't like the way they jog" is not a fucking excuse
English
@AstoriaQB12 @IsItSwift And 99% of the time both are fine but okay keep talking
English
@IsItSwift Amen. I refuse to watch those races. Can’t watch one of those without a horse falling and more than one jockey falling off. Borderline barbaric.

Calling the CHL a Man's Game when your best players leave season after season to develop in the NCAA because it prepares players for the NHL better is an asininely stupid take
Gabriel Morency@sportsrage
This the MAJOR DIFFERENCE between #NCAA & #CHL Hockey . CHL is a MANS game . Much more #NHL like
