"The Kentucky Derby is often called the most exciting two minutes in sports; Storm Cat is probably its most expensive thirty seconds."

Who was the only horse to win the Kentucky Derby and the Queen's Plate (the Derby was a prep, hahaha)? 2. Who was the only horse to win the Queen's Plate and the Breeders Cup Classic?" http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5571.1 Good vs Great, FP vs Ruffian just the facts TELEVIN writes, "The difference between good and great. FACT: Ruffian set or broke track/stake records EVERY race except for the one she died. FP LOST the Fla Derby...Won the Wood by a head Won the Derby a bit over a length zooming home in a 26 second last quarter ... lost the Preakness a neck ... Lost the Belmont a length. HARDLY greatness ... lot of heart yes ... very nice horse yes but not even the best 3 year old colt. FACTS!!!" http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5575.1 -- SCHEDULES -- Television Schedule What's on TV this week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/bltvsched.htm Stakes Race Schedule Listing of stakes races with purses of $75,000 and up for the next week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/blstakessched.htm -- Racing Polls -- NTRA Thoroughbred Racing Poll 06/17/02 HORSE A-S STS-1-2-3 PTS PVS 1.
