Run for the roses!

We have a track right here in town. They race with the little wagons behind the horses. I've never gone to a race.
I probably should someday just to say I've been. I did see a dog race once though, but the jockeys were a lot smaller.

That's harness racing. Different horse and actually the ones I used to ride after adopting ex-racers from the track. They're freakin' awesome animals and if you get a chance to go, why not? It's much different than the Thoroughbreds and just as exciting.

I've been to the dog track too when I went to Florida for the first time. It wasn't too thrilling for me. I like the horses better.

I think Nyquist will also win the Preakness but based on the last few lengths of the Derby I believe that Exaggerator will take the win at Belmont.

I do wonder what kind of performance Danzing Candy will have at Pimlico due to the shorter distance.

I agree that there were some excellent jockey strategies at work in the Derby.

Did you happen to catch the spill on the turf before the Derby? Fortunately both horses and jockeys walked away from it.

IF they bring Danzing Candy to the Preakness, they need to check their strategy with him. He blew his wad before the first turn. I can tell which horse in the lead will start to fall back by the way they land their feet and carry their heads.

Didn't watch anything before 6:00. Now I'm glad I didn't. Every time I see a spill on the track it gives me horrible dreams for a week.
