Sovereignty has the most immaculate @RagozinSheets of any horse I have ever seen with that many races.
He has run 9 times and in every start but one, he has run faster than the race before it. The only one he did not run faster, he paired up the exact same number. You just don't see a sheet like that.

@VadeadIesum Enough Catholics will still vote republican because of Abortion. GOP has figured with laser-like precision that it can do this and still retain the majority (if not nearly all) of these votes.

@failedtomenace @larrycollmus One of the more satisfying Met Miles for me as well. And that was a legit one off monster performance, the second best Met Mile this century, only behind Ghostzapper's in 2005.

FROSTED will always be linked with American Pharaoh for me as it was the moment when @larrycollmus said, “Frosted is all out” that I knew the 37 year wait was over.
Seeing him at four win so dominantly in the Met Mile and Whitney was satisfying and deserved. RIP.

From @OaklawnRacing version of a “handicap” to a 2026 showdown few saw coming.

@1MinutetoPost This sport is hanging by a thread, one catastrophic breakdown in the Kentucky Derby stretch, taking out half the field, and it’s over.

@1MinutetoPost I think you’re wrong. Places like Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Indiana, Texas, West Virginia and Ohio I don’t see going anywhere anytime soon. California and Florida are definitely in scary situations

This bodes well for Fulleffort’s @KentuckyDerby chances!

Worth noting that Turfway to dirt is 9/102 (most dirt winners of any track), which makes Turfway to turf 0-for-54! Gulfstream by far the best for turf starters: 11/55 +35% @HR_nation Impact & +38% ROI. @thenyra Aqueduct 0/11 on dirt.

@AndrewChampagne It has nothing to do with “THE BREED” and everything to do with @hisa_us
English

I get it, and this was inevitable, but I hate it.
What happens in 10-20 years, when the breed can't handle the races being spaced THIS way? At what point do we step back and say, "we should breed sturdier animals that can run more/longer," instead of changing calendars?

The Preakness Stakes is set to make a historic shift to one week later in May, sources said, and interest around media rights is picking up as the event's current deal with NBC Sports ends next month. via @AustinKarp .sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2026/…

Joel Rosario has won one Kentucky Derby, aboard favored Orb.
But his ride on Practical Joke is one of the under appreciated rides in the history of the race and for my money, the greatest ride in defeat I’ve ever seen.
From post 19, he was on the rail under the wire first time: youtu.be/_j6UndOWOMY?si…

@CarlosGArango The Rags and TGs would say that today's horses are faster.

The greatest Illinois Bred horse of all-time, The Pizza Man! Winning the Arlington Million in 2015 under @flothejock!
@JohnGDooley with the most incredible call! “CHICAGO’S ABOUT TO ERUPT THE ILLINOIS BRED”
One of my favorite horses of all-time

@barshoelife Risen Star was the best ever winner of the Lexington
