4 weeks ago If you like horse racing, and even if you don't, the Kentucky Derby is one event that is worth watching. The 139th "Run For The Roses", as it called and first leg of the "Triple Crown" of horse racing is Saturday. Women wearing large brimmed hats, the playing of "My Old Kentucky Home", all with the backdrop of historic Churchill Downs in Louisville add to the magic.

May 19, 2012 If you're into horse racing, and even if you're not, there's something fascinating about the Triple Crown - Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes. Today, it's the 137th running of the Preakness at historic Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. Today's race is a mile and 3/16s.
June 10, 2011 The final leg of the Triple Crown of horse racing takes place this Saturday at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. Saddle up for the 143rd running of the Belmont Stakes, a mile and a half race. Unfortunately as in most recent years, there will be no Triple Crown winner this year.
June 9, 2011 You didn't have to be a betting man or woman to experience goose bumps while watching Secretariat win the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths to complete horse racing's Triple Crown on this day, June 9, 1973. The big chesnut 3-year old became the first horse in twenty-five years to win the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes all in dominating fashion and endearing himself to the entire nation. The late John Stewart recorded this moving tribute to arguably the greatest race horse in history. Remember the excitement and enjoy.
May 21, 2011 The 136th running of the Preakness Stakes takes place today, post time 6:20pm. I just checked the weather forecast for Baltimore, Maryland, home of Pimlico Race Course, and it looks like a great day for horse racing. The forecast calls for partly sunny conditions, high about 83, cooling down to 68 degrees by early evening. So, looks like the mudders have no real advantage.
