Absolute garbage to hand out a ruling on Brad Cox after the Derby, and the 10-day suspension be between Preakness and Belmont ... for a violation from June 2021. Nobody's even trying to be straight-faced about this stuff.

Salute to Mike Battaglia, 50 years making the Kentucky Derby morning line. Say what you want about a price here and there, but you last 50 years in anything in your lifetime and it's not done without respect across multiple generations of co-workers and bosses. Love the guy.

We had a Triple Crown that was spread out June-September-October in 2020. Max Player was the only horse to run in all 3 legs. Max who?!#!@? Exactly. The idea that spacing the races out is the fix for a series that isn't broken is misled.

Don't tell us how great your horse is doing and then release a statement that you've been under vet consultation for days trying to figure out a lameness. No free passes for Brad Cox. Yes, you're in a tough spot; but lying openly to the press and public is not the solution.
