Sunday Morning Front Page Montage

That attitude seems to have been proven premature however after looking at the front pages of many American newspapers on Sunday.

Big Brown's Preakness victory and the potential for a Triple Crown was featured on the cover of newspapers across the nation -- very often in the coveted "above the fold" position.

Think about this for a moment: What other American sports event garners similar coast-to-coast front page coverage? The Super Bowl is a likely candidate. Perhaps the last game of the World Series. Maybe the final game of the NBA Championship. Probably not the NHL. Or the PGA. Or professional tennis.

No -- it's horse-racing that's among this small handful of noteworthy events, despite some recent proclamations that it's an anachronism on the American sports scene...

Below is a sampling of some the front pages of US newspapers from this past Sunday.
