No Triple Crown in 2010. But as Phil said last week thoroughbred racing fans just need to remember that the Chicago Cubs haven´t won a World Series in over a century. The Windy City´s Blackhawks just eliminated the Vancouver Canucks who haven´t won a Stanley Cup since their admission into the NHL in 1970.
Secretariat in 1973, Seattle Slew in 1977 and Affirmed in 1978 have won the Triple Crown since the Canucks were admitted to the NHL, so thoroughbred fans take heart.

Watching the races in a couple of local OTBs over the weekend noticed that Sugar Shannon Doyle sounds just like Mike Dimoff did: mute.
From the reports I´ve been hearing I was one of the lucky ones. More fuel for the infighting and back stabbing.
The Vancouver Canucks have more Stanley Cup rings than the marketing efforts put in at the OTBs for the opening of live racing at Edmonton Northlands.
Too bad Geroge Cuff´s hard work is being ignored.

NTRA and The Jockey Club have responded to Congress´ request for information.
Thoroughbred fans all know how to read past performances.
Congress regulates the American banks and the US is just coming out of the worst recession since the Dirty 30s caused by bank misfeasance. Congress regulates off shore oil drilling and we´re watching the largest ecological disaster in history play out. Congress has tried to regulate other professional and amateur sports and all they got was: "No Habla Ingles".
What odds would you want to bet on Congress successfully regulating anything?
