i also saw that dancing with the stars contacted everyone's favorite vet. hope he turned them down. boy oh boy, the garbage on t.v. these days.

Hey! I loved the first season! John Hurley was totally robbed in the orignal finale.

I would have liked Barbaro to have won it, too. Has a horse ever won it other than Secretariat?

Funny thing is, if you asked Tiger Woods or Roger Federer, they would probably both say, "Give it to Barbaro -- he deserves it more given what he's been through".

Wow, what negativity!

Did you have a bad weekend at the track?

Hilarious. I wonder if it's on par with Franklin, IN.

I believe there is a Franklin, Kentucky too. But I won't insult it and the people who live there. I've never been there . . . and they could all be fine warm generous people.

But only after you lost at the track . . .

Hey, cheer up. Don't take it out on Barbaro or Franklin Ohio.

Believe me, I think anyone would rather lose at the track than spend time in Franklin Ohio.
