My #Preakness picks: JOURNALISM is the cream of the field, should avenge his near-miss at the Kentucky Derby. RIVER THAMES has been on the board in two graded stakes races this Spring, and is second best. SANDMAN needs to return to his Arkansas Derby winning form after an unimpressive Ky Derby.

Networks must be more cautious when reporting Trump’s so-called “deals.” His announcements often follow a familiar, deceptive pattern: declare a major breakthrough, only for the details to later reveal that nothing has actually changed. 1/

JOURNALISM with 3 graded stakes wins, will be celebrated in the Winner's Circle if he clears in this crowded field. BURNHAM SQUARE came up to win the Bluegrass Stakes, and can cover this added distance. SOVEREIGNTY has 2 graded stakes wins, needs to rebound from a Florida Derby loss. #KentuckyDerby🏇

On this day, March 29th, in 1886, John Pemberton brewed the first batch of a non-alcholic wine alternative, later named Coca-Cola. (National Have a Coke Day is celebrated annually on May 8th, the date in 1886 when Coca-Cola went on sale for the first time as a tonic during the temperance movement.)

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the longest palindrome is the 12-letter “tattarrattat,” coined by author James Joyce as an onomatopoeic term for the sound of someone knocking on a door. But 7 letter palindromes are more common. "Racecar" and "rotator" being obvious examples. babbel.com
