“The collective intrigue of a wide-open Kentucky Derby, a brilliant filly competing against males in the Preakness and the possibility of a ‘human Triple Crown’ for jockey Calvin Borel in the Belmont generated great interest in these events once again this year and drove a record number of fans to equibase.com in search of relevant information,” said Equibase President and Chief Operating Officer, Hank Zeitlin.
