They stopped and the horse galloped at Lone Star along the way.

I think the media grabbed hold of this because the trainer on crutches drove the van HIMSELF. I beleive he was the only trainer that actually drove his own horse, that is why it has been treated as a big deal.

And it was pretty funny, right before the race, when some NBC wonk was mentioning it yet again, sticking the mike in the trainers face, and the trainer said, "geesh .... "

I'm with you.......I don't think I could justify betting him today knowing the result.

How about we throw in the down and out stripper that came for the ride? What other crap can we make up to make it good for a Hollywood type movie.
