Yeah, we know this is a horse racing blog, but just couldn't resist mentioning that on Monday, the day the Fightin' Phils were humiliated at Shea Stadium by the Mets, a horse called Let's Go Mets won the 6th race at Philly Park. Given how horribly the season has started for the Phils, this should have been the hunch bet of the month for handicappers. Tony Dutrow had Let's Go Mets, who finished second four previous times, primed for the race, and he won much like the Metropolitans did ... for fun. Personally, I have mixed feelings about this horse - growing up, I was a diehard Mets fan, but my allegiance has now switched to the Phils.
The Blue Grass on Saturday now looks like a yawner with the defection of Hard Spun, who will either run next in the Derby or wait for the Preakness. Street Sense and Great Hunter will top a small field, and from a handicapping standpoint it's not very interesting. Better to save your cash for the Derby on May 5, and the stellar undercard that Churchill Downs presents.
