Hope for the Future

If you want to see an exciting sports clip check out the video footage of last Saturday's Risen Star Stakes. In it, you'll see the stretch move that has made Pyro the top choice in the Future Pool for the Kentucky Derby. Coupled with War Pass' impressive 2 year old career and the dueling dominance of the fillies Country Star and Indian Blessing, it's shaping up to be an exciting spring for racing. It's always exciting in the spring but rarely has so much promise been shown so early. Lots of racing lovers hope for another super horse (and I mean a super horse, not a super popular horse ala Barbaro) to bring more attention and dollars to the sport but I think another great rivalry (think Affirmed and Alydar) would be even better.
