Now that's a good decision!  Never liked the thought of that huge party going on wit horses in close proximity.

On May 2, NBC will be showing a “Triple Crown Showdown”. A virtual race between the 13 Triple Crown winners, you can pick a horse on April 30 at KentuckyDerby.com.  3-6pm eastern, but won’t that be on the same time the Arkansas Derby is? I’ll have to record both so I don’t miss either!
