It has three weeks since the Preakness and five weeks since the Kentucky derby. If you ask me it has taken forever for this day to come. A total of ten horses are running and California crime is the only filly. The lineup and odds are:

1. California Crime odds 1 to 10

2. To night odds 1 to 6

3. Northern war odds 4 to 8

4. Civil rags odds 3 to 10

5. Green salad odds 5 to 15

6. Redwood forest odds 6 to 12

7. Hidden delivery odds 9 to 19

8. Winter kingdom odds 7 to 17

9. James town odds 5 to 20

10. Indian love odds 4 to 8

Even though northern war and Indian love had the best odds everyone was focused on California crime the underdog daughter of California chrome who failed in his bid for the triple crown in this race that happened a decade ago to this day and to night a son of tonalist who beat California chrome in his triple crown bid. Finally California crime is saddled up and about two minutes later they call rider up so I hop up on California crime as alex leads us to the track. Before he uncilps the lead up he whispers to both of us good luck before he let's go of California crime and the post parade starts. We all go in to the starting gate quickly that is expect for James town. You ready girl I ask California crime while they fight with James town to get him in the gate. California Crime shakes her head and I laugh and say to her let's show them just as they get James town in the starting gate. After a few seconds the bell rings and the gates fly open.
