Now that the Kentucky Derby has been made official and paid out, things return to normal here at the Downs and we settle in for our lengthy Spring meet. Although Kentucky Derby week is the most exciting time of the year for all of horse racing, our Spring meet never fails to produce top-class racing and events for the local crowd.
Nighttime racing has only a few Fridays left as the Churchill Downs spring/summer meet nears its conclusion. But there is still plenty to look forward to, including the stellar July 4th program that wraps up the meet.
I am starting this week's notebook with an editorial, then I will present the usual facts and figures this notebook offers on the Louisville meet. Please feel free to respond through Brisnet on any comments.
Kentucky Derby (G1) winner SUPER SAVER (Maria's Mon) returned to the track Wednesday morning for a leisurely jog once around the mile oval under exercise rider Kevin Willey.
