To All, Real Quiet won the second leg of The Triple Crown today, and, I, for one, am convinced that this is a great champion. He just took a longer time to develop.
Sadly, I had no money on him at The Preakness. Or on Victory Gallop, my pick in the Derby. The odds just weren't good enough. Instead, I placed a small bet on Classic Cat across the board and didn't get my money back. Oh, well, I was semi-brilliant for a couple of weeks. <G>
BTW, Real Quiet got no respect. He wasn't even the favorite after winning The Kentucky Derby. But he wasn't long enough for the Bargain Basement Kid, either. <G> Still, this is the most Rodney Dangerfield type horse to win two legs of the Triple Crown that I can remember.
