I can't tell you the number of times I spent an hour+ emparting my fact checked info to my recall..and the stewards took me down. Deleted message. Guess when I finish up down the stretch Used too much wip. So I abbreviate like use Lookin at Lee underneath and wheel.please.
And rarely get into the underbelly of racing. I did come to the defense of John Veitch, Steward at Churchill who was vindicated and restored whole. Steve Assmusen as well in the undercover episode. And my heartfelt prayers for his assistant who committed suicide over the ordeal.
Social media has a terrible censoring affect on the written word. And the spoken word will always be more powerful.

"Add that Dogs sees a predictable zig zig in TTLaw's runway landings...could be money race."
Above is my quote in my Diary....Tiz the Law would zig zag in the stretch... said above as "the runway landing"...Watch him now in the 2020 Derby positioned to run straight down the lane...And. at 1:42 in the NBC YouTube video TTL did just that 'zig zag move' and it cost him the race. Further elsewhere Dogs noted that when there was full crowd noise the colt would recover from floating out and erratic head jerks. Tiz actually brushes winner Authentic.

Admittedly Tiz the Law has run to to his Derby favoritism to date. He is the 3 yo that appears like the proverbial Hollywood casted colt with a future Derby and TC Destiny.
He really looks the part with his striking color and markings. Walking around the barn, when taking his rider up, post parade, down the stretch, crossing the line. First. Winner's Circle. He looks like a fresh, muscular stick out of the crop colt.
With two major defections in the unplugged Belmont Stks distance another Hollywood theme comes onto the table.
A nobody colt runs a first allowance race, on a Thursday afternoon.. And nears the track record for 8.5 panels.
Add that Dogs sees a predictable zig zig in TTLaw's runway landings...could be money race.

Epilog: Derby 2020
I was in a bit of a tizzy after we all knew
we had a first time Derby DQ
Last year. After the last beer.
No one had cause to cheer
Racing seemed fuzzy for the rest of the year
Along comes a Derby more stranger
Thought mask and a horse was about the Lone Ranger
Nobody was there to make it exciting
Not even The Dogs could make it inviting
'My Old Kentucky Home' sounded so dead
It didn't raise the hairs on the back of my head
Like it always did. Since I was a kid
Small field and awkward network video angles
Not even a broke in opening tangles
Colts ran along in single file
Not a tight one as the Pioneer of the Nile
No cigar smoking and distancing in line
To buy a drink one had to dine
Hey really I'm not about to cry
After all we had the full Tri
And pardon me if I seem unworthy
There's nothing like the Kentucky Derby
