Somewhere, there's a baseball game on.

(1) For the second consecutive year, the road to a Triple Crown has ended before reaching Maryland.

The decision has sparked a wave of debate among stakeholders who argue that such choices are a detriment to the sport.

(15) So what does racing do this weekend – on national television no less – to promote itself without showcasing the most recent superstar? Do they dismiss DeVaux’s decision to bypass the Preakness as nothing more than a trend?
