That’s kind of cool.

Neither Cafe Pharoah or Danon Pharoah will participate in the Derby

Maybe Cafe doesn’t like dirt? His other race was I think on synthetic?

 Too bad- i was looking forward to Cafe or maybe even Danon Pharoah run in the Derby. It certainly is possible he didn't like the dirt----

Ete Indien to miss Haskell

The Haskell is selling another 500 admission tickets to the Restaurant in the picnic area which includes 4 hour open bar- that part is NOT a smart move!! I think everyone will be watching what happens with allowing all those fans in, how many COVID infections from it and if there ACTUALLY will be fans at the Derby?

I keep wondering about Breeders’ Cup.  I do not see the Derby happening with a full house.

I think Keeneland will follow the science, I don’t think any of the tracks are allowing fans on aprons, must be in designated areas.

I think it’s Authentic in the Haskell?

Yes. What a heart breaker for NY Traffic.  Authentic may be in the Derby, but he isn't looking like a candidate for favorite with that head-bobbing win.
