There's nothing like a fresh group of horses stepping up to the plate to stir the pot and challenge the pundits to choose a runaway favorite. Personally, I like a good horserace. The diversity makes it exciting. You never know what can happen. Look at the horse who finished third in the Kentucky Derby, Mr. Big News at nearly 50-1, that was big news.
For my part, after Casual Lies ran second in the Kentucky Derby, I know I would have liked to have seen nearly four weeks between that race and the Preakness Stakes, instead of the historical two weeks.
After all, part of the Triple Crown challenge and why it is so difficult to win is that all three races are contested within a five week period.
Since the Triple Crown is off the table, there won't be any naysayers questioning the validity of a Triple Crown winner, if there had been one, due to the amount of time between races.
On to other news, my new novel Into Madness is now available to read as part of Kindle Unlimited. So, if you have a monthly subscription to that service, you can now read it on your devices.
Starting today is a new Goodreads giveaway. Check it out and enter to win one EBook copy of Into Madness, the first book in the Born From Stone Saga.
Take Care and be safe,
