Just wanted to remember Bobby Frankel today and relive some of his greatest wins.

By putting an emphasis on Zenyatta throughout the race, Trevor Denman made a perfect pairing of a memorable call with a race that will stand the test of time.

Is Zenyatta great? She has only run outside California once. She's never faced the boys, until now. She's never raced a longer distance. She's never raced on grass. She needs to race on dirt again. She is too one dimensional. She needs to beat Rachel Alexandria. Does it ever end?

I was thinking of the racing year and the football season and I tried to compare some of the jargon within the two sports and the best examples I could find. So just for fun and for those that enjoy both sports, here's my try at the task.

There is something about a deep closer in horse racing that elicits the inner underdog in humans. We can relate.

This weekend's races offer a feast for the fans, but they also honor some important people and equine athletes in our sport's history.

If Superman wears Tim Tebow pajamas, I doubt Zenyatta honors her counterpart with a "Rachel is my Hero" negligee. In fact, I doubt she's ever heard of her.

Vic Stauffer was a hit at Indiana Academy (high school) this spring. I forwarded his great call of a race and a remarkable recovery by a filly to a friend's daughter. She showed it to many or her classmates who first asked "Why are you watching horse racing?" Afterwards, they all had the same response, "WOW".

Just as the NCAA tournament signals the end of winter and the Masters brings forth spring, Royal Ascot is my sign that the first half year of racing is behind us and summer racing has arrived. The preliminaries are over. Championship season is upon us.

Vincent O'Brien was to horse racing what Adolph Rupp was to basketball and what Bear Bryant was to football.

I'm sure Rene Douglas has been in all of our thoughts a lot since Saturday. He certainly has been in mine. I went seeking memories and I decided to put some down for anyone else that might be wanting that connection right now.

The Princess (Rachel Alexandra) got a jewel last weekend, but the Queen is not ready to give up her throne. Zenyatta makes her much awaited seasonal debut at Hollywood Park in the mile and a sixteenth Grade 2 Milady Handicap.
