Possibly the greatest game in NFL history, and a primary storyline instead becomes the NFL’s nonsensical OT rules. It’s a shame it might take a brutal ending like this to get them changed. It’s unfair to the Bills - but also the Chiefs, because their win comes with an asterisk.

How did Japan's racehorses get so good? Well, its 4 Saudi and 4 Dubai winners had one thing in common: all were 2nd- or 3rd-generation descendants of Sunday Silence - yet another reminder of the colossal mistake U.S. breeders made by turning their backs on the 1989 3yo champion.

Zulu Alpha has been retired and the 8-year-old will be headed soon to Old Friends. “We didn’t feel like he’s competitive at a top level anymore,” owner Michael Hui said. “He’s taken us to a level I never dreamed of, and if anything happened to him I couldn’t live with myself.”

Bob Neumeier was the consummate professional in TV, radio and as a horseplayer. His knowledge and wry delivery made him a favorite of sports fans - but he was even more beloved by those who knew him or worked with him. “Neumy” was one of the nicest guys in any room he inhabited.

It boggles my mind when smart people refuse to see simple facts. Many of today's top horses that run well in the Derby skip the Preakness because trainers dislike the 2-week gap. That's a fact. This is bad for the Triple Crown and thus bad for the sport. Another fact. So fix it.

Huge effort by Letruska, and she deserves kudos for her determination. But at the same time, let's not forget the Apple Blossom is a handicap... and Monomoy Girl was spotting Letruska 6 pounds. At level weights, Monomoy Girl wins the race.

Since 2012, Gulfstream Park has carded 501 races at 1 1-16 miles. Of all those, Saturday’s Fountain of Youth had the 5th fastest 1/4- and 1/2-mile fractions. Food for handicapping thought the next time Hidden Scroll runs.

It was bound to happen. Del Mar's new GMax timing system laid an egg on the sport's championship day. Equibase has issued revised final times for three Breeders' Cup races - oh, and the GPS-timed fractions for the Distaff and Classic are wrong, too.

Nadal's 96 Beyer in the Rebel doesn't tell the whole story. His pace was so absurdly fast that runnerup Excession improved his recent figures by 20 points by lagging in last place early, and pace pressers American Theorem & No Parole were beaten 27 and 49 lengths, respectively.

His record speaks for itself, but I would put Mark Casse in the Hall of Fame simply for his stand on Clenbuterol.
Smart minds can differ on Lasix. This is different. Every racing state should be preparing to go to zero tolerance on Clenbuterol, for the sport and the horses.

After Arkansas Derby one year, champagne/beer flowed freely in press box. Your station called about 9pm to ask if I'd do report for 10pm sports. I agreed. I thought I did great. But as soon as I finished, my phone rang again. It was my mother: "How could you go on TV like that??"

Yes, there were two tickets as the result of the dead heat (basically two half-winners) but he held both. If he had only one of the horses, he wins the jackpot. If he had only the other horse, he wins. But if he has both on his ticket, he loses? Pay the man.

Assuming Oaklawn is still racing May 2, you'll soon read about the possibility of splitting the $750k Arkansas Derby. I believe two $500k divisions would draw full fields. Related issue: would Churchill Downs consider the situation and grant full Derby qualifying points to each?

Flightline's romp Sunday overshadowed a maiden race on the same SA card in which 3-year-old first-time starters Shaaz and Hopkins finished 1-2 with Beyers of 105-104. Can anyone name the only other first-timer since Beyers were published in '92 that ran a 100+ figure and lost?

Horseplayer Jeff Arthur held the only winning ticket April 10 in the Sooner 6ix at Remington Park, which should have paid $35,145. But the OKC track refuses to pay off, citing a bogus rules interpretation. Horrible PR, plus it would never hold up in court

Equibase wants you to think its GMax timing catastrophes are confined to Del Mar's turf course. Meanwhile, on Aug 20 at LRL a race was mistimed by 16 Beyer points...on Aug 8 at WO, a 17-point mistake....on Aug 10 at CBY, a 16-point error. We have notebooks full of GMax meltdowns

The way things are quickly developing, US horse races - and even the Kentucky Derby - may soon be run in front of empty grandstands. This has already happened in Hong Kong (of course) and Dubai. But racing actually may be one of the sports best suited to continue.

For those who are interested, BC Classic fractions should be in the close neighborhood of :23, :46.4 and 1:10.5. The "official" fractions and the GMax chart have six of the eight horses running :22-and-change around the 1st turn - a red flag. The final time appears accurate.

Speed figures are calculated not by how a horse looks, but how fast he runs compared to the speed of the surface as evidenced from other races on the card. I knew immediately from Charlatan's time that his figure would be slower than expected, and said so on TVG after the race.

polled readers on whether a Belmont run as the first leg should be kept at 1 1/2 miles or shortened. Last I saw, 72% voted to keep it at 1 1/2 miles. Which shows just how many racing fans are so obsessed with tradition that they throw common sense out the window.

Meanwhile, Santa Anita recognized the importance of these issues and undertook a months-long project to rebuild its photo-eye beam system that had been unused for almost 15 years. The old-school beams are now being used again, and its timing malfunctions have all but disappeared.

Affirmed Success was 38-for-42 in the triple-digit department over six years. That’s hard to top. He missed in the 1997 Travers, the 1999 BC Sprint, 2001 BC Mile and his final career start in the 2003 Carter as a 9-year-old.

More dominoes will fall. The Preakness and likely the Belmont will need to be rescheduled, too, so I would expect a Triple Crown to be reconstituted in the fall, additional Kentucky Derby points races to be added in the summer, and for the Travers to be moved up to early August.

What we still don't know: will Derby points even matter? Points determine priority only if more than 20 horses are entered. We have come to take that for granted, but will that still be the case for a September Derby that may not be the first leg of a reordered Triple Crown?
