Did You Watch The Preakness Yesterday?

I was fairly sure that Exaggerator was going to win because of the muddy track. I’m sure it was disappointing for Nyquist fans, who had been hoping for a Triple Crown win.
Unfortunately, Nyquist suffered his first loss. The track was really muddy and the experts predicted that that might be a problem for Nyquist, and it proved to be true.
Nyquist had beaten Exaggerator four times, but not yesterday. The muddy track slowed Nyquist down after a quick start, but Exaggerator prevailed.
The third jewel in the Triple Crown is coming up in three weeks. The Belmont Stakes will be run on June 11th. I plan to watch that race also, even though there will not be a Triple Crown winner this year. It will be interesting to see, however, which horse will win.
I enjoy watching horse racing.

It may be my favorite sport. I even published a romance novel that included a LOT of information about horse raising and training.
