The conversation this week should be about how Medina Spirit ran a sensational race at the Kentucky Derby, raving about how the horse’s rags-to-riches story is just the type of feel-good tale that the world needs in some brutally difficult times. Instead, the discussion is about picograms. For now, Medina Spirit is the Kentucky Derby winner, after crossing the line ahead of all others at Churchill Downs two weeks ago. It doesn’t look exactly promising that he’ll keep that title. Absolutely nobody knows if the past performances from Medina Spirit were on an equal playing field with other horses in those races. Racing is always a crapshoot. This Preakness is even more of one than usual.
