It was a quiet morning filled with routine gallops and no drama two days before the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby.
However, a storm is brewing with rain forecast to begin falling around 4 o’clock this afternoon and continuing into Saturday morning with thunderstorms likely all through the 13-race Kentucky Oaks Day card that begins at 10:30 a.m. (all times Eastern).

Grumpy Old Man Warning: I will probably watch the Derby itself (although I have no clue about any of the horses running) and some of the pre-race pomp and circumstances. I'm sure I won't be betting anything at Churchill.
Grade I and II races with horses shipped in from all over the country? Expensive, lightly raced horses? No thanks. Claiming and allowance races are my bread and butter, preferably with horses that have been racing at the same track for a while. I've been in the game for many a year, and doubt that I have ever bet on a Triple Crown race. Or a Triple Crown program race. And a bad track would make it even less likely.
Difference strokes for different folks.
