So we're in the thick of the prep races for the 135th Kentucky Derby, and I have finally gotten my blog started. In the next couple of months, I hope to track those prep races, and the horses running for those twenty coveted spots in the starting gate, right here on this blog. After that, we'll move on to the summer session, the races at the Spa, and the Breeder's Cup.

Just to be clear, I'm doing this for fun. I certainly hope to provide some good info, and maybe start some interesting dialogue, but the true point is to have fun, track the horses, and delight in the magic that is the Triple Crown.

As we go, please feel free to send me your thoughts, feelings, and any other input you've got.

Happy racing!
