...tidbit though: there's already been a ton of intrigue when this morning, race favorite I Want Revenge was pulled due to injury. Expect the winner of the Kentucky Derby to win the second leg of the Triple Crown, the Preakness, but falter at The Belmont Stakes. Remember Funny Cide, War Emblem, Smarty Jones, and Big Brown? The entire feat hasn't been completed since Affirmed...
...term genocide is young in the context of human conflict. It was coined in 1944 by Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin, who combined the Greek genos (race) with the Latin cide (to kill).

...mile race. At the far turn, Elliott stepped on the gas, then opened up a loping lead that looked almost too relaxed to be the blinding gallop it was. Can Smarty and Elliott do it again at the Belmont Stakes on June 5, or will they fold like Funny Cide, last year's darling, did? The man and his mount have done a lot of impossible things in the past month. One more would barely surprise anybody. --Reported by Pohla Smith/Baltimore
