i thought the blind luck/havre de grace race was one of the best of the year. nothing better in racing than seeing two horses go toe to toe.

O'Brien winning for his Dad before he outgrows the jockey job was pretty damn cool!

I'd put DrugS stringing along Rock Tard Hen with that whole Youtube racing channel thing, like he really intended to do that.

that would be according to derbytrail, not ntra!

I make no such distinctions.

I guess you were right about both of us.

People are freaking transparent.
