Default Classic Tirade

So, my 82 year old mother likes horses with names starting with Z. She bets $2 across on Zenyatta and we settle in and watch the Classic on ESPN. She loves the way Zenyatta prances...like a Lipizzaner. Mike Smith is her favorite jockey. He's so cute (her words not mine). Everything about the race is fantastic. The drama at the starting gate. The phenomenal ride by Smitty. The adoring crowd with their Girl Power signs, cheering as Zenyatta walks back to the winners circle. The announcers are quiet as Smitty looks to the heavens one last time. Above the din a Gio Ponti backer calls out to the venerable Hall of Fame jockey:

MOTHER F___ER. YOU BETTER BE THANKFUL YOU S__T!!!

Horse Racing. Ya just gotta love this sport.

The Gio Ponti reference is an inside joke. I bet Gio Ponti. I've got the tirade on tape. I'll see if I can figure it out.

I don't know about her Zayat ROI but she's the only person I know that really had Giacomo. She liked the name.
