The Call To The Post

Tired of all the bad news and global chaos? Sounds like you could use someone to lift you up.

Lookin at Lucky finally overcame his streak of bad fortune to win the Preakness Stakes, scrapping Super Saver’s bid at a Triple Crown.

The Kentucky Derby may have afforded Super Saver a dream trip, but will he stack up to the challengers on a fast track in Baltimore?

All hail King Calvin, Lord of the Kentucky Derby!

The first Saturday in May is upon us. Bring on the mint juleps, the roses, the hats: it’s Kentucky Derby time. Tomorrow, a dream comes true.

Two big colts. Two big trainers. It’s Eskendereya versus Lookin at Lucky; all others are running for show.

With the full field of the Kentucky Derby nearly in focus, two last preps could make or break the dreams of those on the outside looking in.

Two major stakes mark the end of the road for the roses. To the victors go a secure spot in the Kentucky Derby gates; to the rest, a bus ticket home.

The top two early favorites for the Kentucky Derby provide lustre to the historic Wood Memorial and Santa Anita Derby this Saturday.
