No horse has won the Kentucky Derby without having started as a 2-year-old since Apollo in 1882. As in it’s been 136 years since the feat has been accomplished. (Do you believe in omens? It has been 136 years since Apollo and it was the 136th game played between a No. 16 and No. 1 where UMBC pulled off the shocking upset). When it comes to the Kentucky Derby, it is the one “rule” that has stood up year after year, decade after decade. This year, it may get its stiffest test ever.

With so many scribes writing about the 2018 Kentucky Derby being the one that could possibly vanquish the curse of Apollo Sal says that they may have just invoked the sportswriters curse of commenting that the pitcher is just 3 outs away from a no hitter.

Sal says that it’s high time for an INDEPENDENT review of the horse racing industry in Alberta.
Maybe the independent reviewers could figure out what the Undertaker does for the money he’s paid.

AS THE OVAL/BOARD ROOMS HEAT UP FOR THE SPRING INFO THAW
Will Tenile HRA CEO be leaving her job after a 10 year tenure on July 1, 2018. With the new conflict of interest laws stating a government employee cannot work for a company for 5 years if they had dealings with them (CENTURY CASINOS) will this impact golden handshake #3 for her (government severance, $260 k a year HRA CEO, and the rumoured consultant/board job )with CENTURY.
CENTURY CASINO has not been updating the construction progress of the CENTURY MILE via social media or is the ground not thawed enough to provided information for the stakeholders???
Will the Undertaker post the CEO vacancy on Horse racing Alberta as soon as it is open or will he try and hide it like he did with the Chair posting.
The loss of 400k in purse/breeder revenue in 2018, how will that impact horse racing.
Former Northlands park director CHRIS MERRILL ROBERTS cashes in this stock compensation for a total of $6 million pesos, will he be throwing his hat in the ring for the HRA CEO vacancy when it gets posted???
