Rise and shine, it's go-for-the-Triple-Crown-on-two-different-horses time! At least, it will be in a few hours.

And that's why you should root for the 5-foot-4, 116-pound Cajun. He's the story here, people, not the damn horse he's riding. Remember?

Good Saturday morning. Keep the tips coming nice and steady today and we just might get through the first part of the weekend.
