Wow, the favorite just got scratched:

"Omaha Beach reportedly was coughing Wednesday morning, and an examination revealed an entrapped epiglottis -- a breathing obstruction that compromises a horse's ability to breathe during exercise."

I'm not a big horse racing fan, but I watch the triple crown races and bet a few bucks on each. With the favorite being scratched, according to the odds, there's no clear cut favorite and 4+ horses with single digit odds. Could be an exciting race.

Any promising Albaugh horses on the horizon? He's had one run the past few years I think.

Love rewatching this one. Especially at 1:56 where the announcer has the wtf moment. “That is...uhhh...Mine that Bird?”

Mine that Bird’s daddy was Birdstone who wrecked Smarty Jones’s dreams in the 2004 Belmont. Love the announcers call in this one as well. “Birdstone is going to make him earn it!”
