Kentucky Derby is 40 minutes away.

Didn't bet on a horse this year, but 2 of the top ones got scratched.

Mage plans to run in the Preakness.

Slightly undersized horse, but not to the level of Medina Spirit in 2021. Hopefully Mage can pull it off and make the Belmont interesting for the first time in some years.

I still think stripping titles away from champions of any sport after the fact is fucking stupid, wrong, and ridiculous. It's not like you don't test those horses or athletes for PEDs before the fact. Doing it after the fact is double jeopardy to me. If you're going to take away Medina Spirit, Maximum Security and Lance Armstrong, then you better do the 2014 Patriots and 2002 Lakers as well tbh.
