Blizzard at Berthoud Pass yesterday afternoon (8 June 2014)
I understand that co-owner and -breeder of California Chrome, Steve Coburn, is not backing away from his remarks on Saturday evening. He feels that the Triple Crown championship was stolen from his horse because horses that did not run in all three Classic races finished ahead of him. It has never been required that any of the horses entered to run in the Preakness or Belmont must also run in the Kentucky Derby - it's always been a wide-open contest at all three races in the past. I'm sorry that Mr Coburn is so upset over his colt's loss - but all the previous Triple Crown champions have faced the same mixed bag of contenders in both the Preakness and the Belmont. His colt came up short in the Belmont - the Triple Crown winners did not.
Today is my 58th birthday - I decided it was my "Regression Day" instead. While my body continues to age, and to get rounder, my mind still thinks that I'm eleven or twelve - so:
Happy Regression Day, every one!!!!
