And of course, no super race goes unpunished - off to the Preakness.  How about a walkover Preakness and 5 weeks off to the Belmont - like to avoid this potential breakdown.

Eight Belles - one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind - (credit to Mr. Dylan).

Today a classic case of the ecstay and the agony - the best performance I have ever seen by a thoroughbred (and I go back to Dr. Fager) and another crushing breakdown - they go out there every time and do the best they can, without any other agenda - and it\'s the horses that pay the ultimate price.

Sorry - I\'ve just seen too many of them.

7 horses had run the \"zero\"equired to win here. Four of them are the first four finishers.  Thanks for the super the super Jerry
