"...I chose Oxbow for Henry Fonda's film The Oxbow Incident" He would.
Oxbow's win in the Preakness was the eighth for Calumet Farm and first after a turbulent couple of decades featuring bankruptcy and ownership changes
It wasn't the old-school connections most expected to win the Preakness Stakes, but the 2013 Triple Crown has continued the theme of old-school with Oxbow's victory.
Should those gray clouds at Pimlico cause the track to be muddy in the Preakness, how would affect each of the entrants?

It has been forty years since the great Secretariat captured the Preakness. Forty years later, Orb looks to follow in his footsteps and take a step toward becoming racing's twelfth Triple Crown winner.
As Orb continues his Triple Crown journey, I can't help but remember another Phipps-owned, McGaughey-trained horse that left an impact on the Triple Crown, Easy Goer.
