I do like the way it has added some value to the "classic" prep races.

Arazi, Sweetnorthernsaint, War Emblem, Charismatic, Mine That Bird, Lemon Drop Kid, Birdstone, Ten Most Wanted, Eight Belles, Giacomo, and Sea Hero --- they had a combined total of 104 points and all ran in the Ky Derby.

You get 100 points for Winning the UAE Derby like Daddy Long Legs did last year and Lines Of Battle did this year.

Well the whole UAE Derby thing is a joke--that's the KY bluebloods bowing down to Prince Whatshiname.

Who can blame them ... the way he spends his money and props up the prices at the sales...

It's a great thing to be born with an ocean of oil under your ass.

There is a lot of sadness in this world thanks to stuff like hunger, war, poverty, disease, Taylor Swift music, etc.

I'm sure the Sheik has a plan to help make this world a better, happier, more wonderful place for EVERYONE.
