Absolutely a fixture in the morning.
So
Yeah, that was unfortunately he um he passed away.
He just had a heart procedure and then just didn't wake up the other day.
Well the short answer to your question is no, I really can't.
I'm still trying to get the answers, but here's what I know.
There were two news conferences this week and two announcements.
One was Monday when basically the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes got together.
to create a coalition, add three summertime races, and then a final race in the fall as part of a series to crown a three year old champion.
And conspicuous by its absence was the Preakness.
You've reported on this.
That was what happened Monday.
Preakness, they hold a news conference with the governor of Maryland, Wes Moore, and it's at the State House in Annapolis, and there's a splashy deal, a noon news conference that of course started at twelve forty nine.
And uh so they here was Wes Moore and and he was uh he was slick and then the Maryland Jockey Club guy, Bill Knoff, comes out and he was calm.
And the NBA C guy, uh NBC just re upped with the preakness and he was smart and off they went.
What I've been told was
This was originally going to be the other way around.
The preakness announcement was going to come first.
But you may remember the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs, tried to buy basically the NIL of the Preakness, the imaging rights and all of that, for eighty five million dollars.
And the state of Maryland used its bargaining chip, its contractual chip to block that.
