Hearing?

How about "looking"?

He looked like "The Terminal Case of Benjamin Button" in the Preakness winner's circle.

I know, I felt so bad for him, I didnt realize who that was at first. Do we know what is wrong with him, have they said?

He is 79 years old. Maybe his age has caught up with him.

No thats not age! I mean he looks like a totally different man. If you put pics of him from even when Curlin was running and now, you wouldnt know it was the same person. Very sad

Racing being as backwards as it is, I'm expecting the BC to announce any second now that Santa Anita is their new permanent home.

I'm hoping for a win and you're in for the Malibu.

Better yet, how about win any BC race, and you are in for the next year!

I don't think it would risk RA to run on synthetics anymore than it risks her to run on dirt. If I was 79 years old and owned her, I would run her in both this year's and next year's BC and see what happens.
