Huge classic weekend

today is the beginning of a huge classic weekend in international racing, with the Epsom Derby meeting featuring the Oaks and Coronation Cup (both today) and the Derby tomorrow, as well as the Prix de Diane (French Oaks) at Chantilly on Sunday and in the U.S. the Belmont Stakes, with Big Brown´s attempt to succeed in winning the American Triple Crown, a feat not achieved for 30 years, although no fewer than 10 horses have won the first two legs in that period. Last but not least (!) the Bavarian Classic at Munich on Sunday!
