"Tawqeet" will win the Melbourne Cup, and easliy. Its run in the Caulfield Cup where i won was strong and he hit the line hard with what seemed like plenty left in the tank.  I also think the Japanese horse "Pop Rock" will also be there at the end.  Anything from the Hayes stable or Cummings stable would be a good E/W bet.  Tawqeet to win is my call

While I try to attend Rolex every year, I would much rather go to the Derby anyday. Rolex is fun but Derby Day is 10x more so.

Assuming you're talking about the semi-bi-annual tour of MLB players to Japan after the MLB season is finished, there's been a history since 1908, not to mention a HR derby between Aaron vs Oh, this page from MLB.com has all the info you want, not to mention it's really interesting.\n\n\nhttp://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/events/japan_series/mlb_japan_series_history.jsp

point determined i'm hoping. but Lawyer ron & brother derek are currently the highest rated 3 yr olds in the derby so far. Barbaro is good as well, but his 5 month layoff is very unappealing to many people which is probably why he's not given the respect/attention he deserves. First Samurai is actually out of the derby & even if he were still in, i look at him as more of a sprinter. i don't think he should be stretched to over a mile or so. But point determined is improving by leaps & bounds w/ each race. & since because he's a late bloomer he hasn't quite hit his best stride yet, which will hopefully happen at the derby w/ a win. plus he has the perfect racing style for the race. it's a risk, but i'll go for it. :)

The actual race is Saturday, May 6,2006 at 6:00pm but actual race coverage starts at 5:00-6:30pm eastern time and it will be televised on NBC. If you have the ESPN channels then you can pretty much see all day coverage.. stats about the horses..etc.

Because Thoroughbred horses race in age classes (2-year-olds only, 3-year-olds only, 3-year-olds and older), it's important to keep track of their age.  But keeping track of individual horses' birthdays would be very difficult, given that the annual Thoroughbred foal crop has over 25,000 horses in America alone.  So the universal birthday for Thoroughbreds is January 1.\n\nSome breeders feel that foals born as close as possible to January 1 have an advantage when they go to the sales or races over horses with a later foaling date.  While there is no data that supports this for foals born from January to about mid-April, some breeders want to try to get foals born as early as possible anyway.\n\nThe down side of this is that if a foal is born on December 31, the very next day it automatically turns 1 year old!  This, for most breeders, would be a disaster, because it would effectively mean that there was no point in even trying to get this foal to the races until very late in its "official" 4-year-old season, when chronologically it would be a late 3-year-old and might be competitive against horses 4 and up.  \n\nSome breeders, both past and present, have resorted to creative skullduggery to avoid this kind of disaster.  There's a story, probably apocryphal, that the late "Bull" Hancock of Claiborne farm found one of his best mares showing signs of starting to foal (her udder filling, muscles around the tailhead becoming more relaxed, etc.) around Christmas day.  He gave orders to put the mare in an empty tobacco barn with the floor well-bedded in straw, a barrel of water, and several bales of hay.  He then ordered everyone to stay away from the barn until January 1st.  \n\nWhen the barn was opened on January 1st, the mare was there with her new foal.  Since no one had seen the mare foal, no one could swear that she had not foaled on January 1.  \n\nApparently the Jockey Club, which is the governing body for the registration of Thoroughbred foals, has felt that there has been too much of that kind of thing going on, and has started requiring breeders to notify them of Thoroughbred births on or close to the January 1 deadline.  A visit is then paid to the farm by a vet designated for such things by The Jockey Club, and the vet determines if the foal got in "under the wire" or was actually foaled before January 1.

I don't think a Triple Crown horse is in this year's crop.  Then again, this question should probably be asked again after the Kentucky Derby is run.\n\nI think if the races are spaced out more, there could be one sooner rather than later.  I think the distances should be kept at the same distances though.  These are classic races, and should be kept at the same distances that have been run for ages.\n\nAlso, if Pimlico does end up closing because they don't have slot machines or another form of alternate gambling, we can forget another Triple Crown winner, especially if the Preakness is moved to another track.  The travel makes sense (Louisville to Baltimore to NY).  Imagine what would happen if the Preakness is somewhere else in the US.\n\nFinally, the Triple Crown has been hit lately in Canada.  They run the same distances, and have a wrinkle in their TC because their final race is a mile and a half on the turf.  If Canada can have a horse win their triple crown, then the US could have theirs sometime.

I. Murphy was the first jockey to win the Kentucky Derby three times on Buchanan in 1884, Riley in 1890 & Kingman in 1891. No jockey has yet won the race on three consecutive occasions.

I think it's June 6th, 2006.  Nothing more.  Kinda like Jan. 1, 2000 was.  Our dates and any number associated with them are pretty much arbitrary.
