Triple Crown 2021 Thread
Ok, we haven't had a new Triple Crown thread since 2017 according to the box fan so here goes.
Welcome back to live racing with a packed house. I'm excited for this weekend's Derby, even going to a party for the first time in two years (fully vaxed peeps before some wet blanket chimes in).
Full 20 horse field and damn if Bourbonic isn't the greatest name for a horse ever. 30-1 Todd Pletcher Kentucky horse owned by Calumet Farm to boot.
No one likes to drink alone so right there with him is Midnight Bourbon at 20-1.
And of course, what goes better with some brown water than some Hidden Stash? At 50-1 of course the stoner horse is slow.
It's like TGR got to name the field this year.

5th horse of Baffert’s to test positive in the last 6 months, and this one could strip him of his record setting Derby title.
That’s insane. In a sport where you are not trying if you’re not cheating, that’s remarkable for someone of his stature.
His “excuse” is also so unbelievable it’s akin to a sixteen year old explaining away a positive dope test on second hand smoke. From a random passerby. By edible.

That sport is so crooked it makes boxing look entirely legit by comparison.

OK, so they can disqualify the horse and give the win to the runner up, but what happens to all the bets? Sorry if that was explained in the link I didn’t read.

Toothpaste out of the tube. Bets are paid and done for and won't be re-allocated.

Baffert (through his attorney) now says that a therapeutic cream was the likely cause of the steroid in Medina Spirit's system on Derby Day.
Wonder if this means that the search is off for the handler who ingested cough syrup, then pissed on Spirit's straw in his stall, which he then ate.
It never ceases to amaze me when someone who is so established and high profile just self immolates in real time.I still call it The Jake.

Right? And is that any better than the cough syrup straw pisser? What thoroughbred eats pissed on straw?

Is dermatitis a big problem among thoroughbreds? Seems like a plausible deniability excuse to have performance enhancers end up in a horse's system.

Well played, Harold
My damn derby party was cancelled again this year. Next year's bettor's pamphlet will be dedicated to the memory of Baffert and the fall guy who will be fired for having pissed hot substances into Medina's food. What an absolutely absurd claim.
