R_I, Trying to find pic of my best friend who used to ride show dressage, etc, (hot little blonde) all dressed up from behind with her whip. You guys would howl. She had her hair pulled back in that tight little bun and those black boots.

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.

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.

Seabiscuit or Hidalgo? Black Beauty? Black Stallion? What's your pony show?
Did Red Pollard ever find his parents? This bugs the heck out of me.

I never thought that I would live to see the day that I agree with Irish and dissagree with Marion!

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.

Horse racing is a brutal and abusive "sport", responsible for the deaths of thousand of horses.
I will not participate in any way.

Hey, something to bash besides Walmart and torture. And with recent mass horse deaths to fuel the rage. (sigh)
