One thing that really struck me about the ESPN coverage of the Belmont this morning was that all the promotion and advertising was entirely focused on the excitement, athleticism and courage of the horses, riders and races, not the side shows. If you want to captiveate a new and growing audience of participants, why wouldn't you do that? -

Sovereignty gains second crown www.racing.com The Godolphin-owned Sovereignty left little doubt as to who is the best three-year-old in the United States when he took out the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga to give him two of the three legs of the Triple Crown in the United States. Just as he did in the first leg of the Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby, he relegated Journalism to second placing. Sovereignty did not contest the second leg of the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes, which Journalism was successful in. Journalism surged to the lead on straightening in the Belmont Stakes, but Sovereignty cruised past him soon after and went on to win by three lengths. Sovereignty’s trainer Bill Mott said he was happy with his decision to not contest the second leg of the Triple Crown with his colt. “If we wouldn’t have won today, we would have taken a lot of criticism. It turned out good. Sometimes you make the right decision and a lot of times you make the wrong ones. But today, it really worked out well,” Mott said. Mott said he prioritised the colt’s health and wellbeing over running in the Preakness Stakes. Sovereignty was again ridden by Junior Alvarado who said winning two legs of the Triple Crown was surreal. He said five or six years ago he wondered where his career was going, and he thanked his family for their support. -

Without knocking the high profile trainers who train large numbers and have all the stress associated with that, it seems the colour pieces on the small time trainers are the ones that capture the imagination of the reader or viewer. Nothing can capture intrigue like the underdog. The backbone of the industry should never be under estimated, nor what the backbone is.
