These horses are athletes just as much as their human counterparts You can tell when you are watching a great one that is totally in the moment. When a jockey and his horse are in sync, and acting as one, it is a glorious thing to behold.

No. I'm still mad at NBC for cutting out of a sporting event that wasn't done -- I think it was a hockey game -- to start its ridiculously long pre-race coverage consisting mostly of celebrity interviews.

We are there! It's cloudy & chilly here with a chance for rain. The favorite, I Want Revenge, just scratched according to track chat. I'll bet on Firesan Fire to win and put another stack on the parimutuel field.
