Doing my best to give you the inside scoop on all things horse racing.

I'm not the biggest fan of Mucho Macho Man.

But then again I flat out disliked Curlin during his racing career and was pretty indifferent to Zenyatta and I love and respect both of them so much now, after all was said and done, so I’m sure in a couple years I’ll be gushing over MMM too.

It's because MMM is consistently decent but can never consistently win the big ones. It looks like he is finally developing into a winner, but we will see when he races against the big guns later in the season. Today was child's play.

Pretty much the only thing getting me through this week is Super Saturday. I cannot wait to be at Belmont Park with all of my friends (horses and human). Then the following weekend off to Lexington for opening weekend at Keeneland. More of my four legged and two legged friends. Is it Saturday yet?
