My third wife used to say that to me a lot.

Did you know a horse named Shannon's Hope raced 5 times in 8 days in 1963 at Northampton in Massachusettes? On a half-mile racetrack no less.

Shannon's Hope won all 5 starts.

If it weren't for Dutrow's travails, folks would have to find something else to carp about.
