                        <![CDATA[SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, May 5, 2013—Since the light bulb went off this winter, Kentucky Derby winner Orb has turned into a complete monster. He won the Florida Derby sitting relatively close to a half&#45;mile in 48.40 and came from 16th off a half of 45.33 on Saturday while making his sloppy&#45;track debut. That’s the kind of versatility it took to win a Kentucky Derby—and the kind needed for a Triple Crown, too. First, there’s a stop&#45;over in Baltimore.

Serious fans and bettors were anticipating the Kentucky Oaks with almost as much fervor as Derby 139 itself. However, the three unbeaten fillies that entered the Churchill starting gate Friday are no longer undefeated, and the longingly awaited return of Dreaming of Julia could have gone a lot better, too.

The thing is this one has two legs, not four. So, when 20 male runners enter the Louisville starting gate, it’s likely the casual sports fan will have heard of Rosie Napravnik, and for all they know Verrazano is still only the bridge in New York that connects Brooklyn to Staten Island.
