Pgrad,
I'm glad you didn't but its still in poor taste and i wish I could edit the thread title.
A bunch of horses quitting in the lane is quite insignificant compared to a 34 year old man with a child dying in a horrible crash.
I have a flying phobia and only fly when completely necessary.
I've driven to Ky and back for the Derby every year since 1994 with the exception of 99 when I couldnt go and 2003 when I flew.
I will be heading down the highway for the Breeders Cup shortly, right in the ole Honda.
I always thought that the moments before a crash would be the worst thing, when you would be plunging with the knowledge that you are about to die in a fiery ball and that there is nothing you can do about it.
All crashes get me shaken, just reading about them.
