1. The GIII Colonial Turf Cup on June 16th at Colonial Downs in Virginia. Kentucky Bear will be returning there after his disappointing go in the Preakness. I felt bad for him....he seemed like he could have gotten a good go and he may have some talent, but he had a nightmarish trip, stumbling out of the gate, got checked a couple times and then was thrown about in stretch traffic. In addition, he apparently "got a cut on his leg," said trainer Reade Baker "Someone stepped on his hind shoe and bent it down and in, over an inch. I don't know how he ran on that. I don't even know how he could walk on it." The Turf Division is pretty open right now, so hopefully we'll see some good stuff from him!
2. GIII Northern Dancer Stakes on June 16th. This one could be good, as it included Recapturetheglory, Pyro, Visionare, as well as other horses like My Pal Charlie and Texas Wildcatter. I'm most eager to see RTG make a return - his Derby go was interesting and somewhat promising - but it could shape up to be an interesting race.
3. GIII Regret Stakes on June 14th. Pure Clan will try out the turf in this one, and Absolutely Cindy is there as well.
4. GII Fleur De Lis Handicap one June 12th has possible contenders that include Hystericalady, Tough Tiz's Sis and Dawn after Dawn.
How much faster can I put this crummy Triple Crown season behind me?!

Like the comments and the blog and the videos. Keep it up!
I own a fractional share of Harlem Rocker and agree that Stronach blew it with the Canadian Plate entry. HR should have gone against Big Brown..
I also do some jumping and riding here in NYC...
Went to the Belmont and we were all stunned by how weird that was..
With the Eight Belles tragedy in the Derby and the strange easing up of BB in the Belmont, what a strange strange couple of bookend races for the 2008 Triple Crown...
Go HR!!
