I've never been to Pimlico. Might be something about the turns but I really don't know.
Now, after all the "bad stuff" that's been happening, some writers are pouring gasoline on the fire (see the thread about Arlington).
Man! I'd love to see every horse go into the post sound and come out the exact same way.
Seems to me, that like everything else in life, there comes a risk with trying to win. That's racing. That's life.
Winners find a way to capture our hearts.
And so do some of the "also rans" that give their hearts, and lives.
Barbaro has captured many folks hearts. I sure hope he makes it.
