Watching the replays of King's Rose and Mufhasa makes me feel a bit better.

This is a lovely photo of the beautiful King's Rose.

Five wins in a row. Impossible not to love her.

She is lovely and extraordinary and I'm so glad you posted the picture and the race but yeah the Mufhasa replay... that's what did it for me.

You were right.

I need to thank you again cause I was afraid to even click on the link but Red Ruler finally gtting that G1... had to see it so thank you for editing out most of the race cause I really did just want to see that boy not be kind once again and let someone else pass at the last second.

That was a long time in the making and oh... such a heartbreaking win but fantastic for him so we can't take anything away from that.

I love the race caller cause when he gets really really excited I have to play it over and over and I still can't quite make out the very end of the Mufhasa call right before the wire.

Just the way he says his name though... I love that he has so much emotion in three syllables.

He sure looked like the horse of the year once again!

Veloce Bella... that's it? Any chance they changed their minds?

George is an awesome caller. I think what he said this time was "He's a beauty! Mufhasa wins the G1, dominant in the end." I love how excited he gets in these big races. His call in Jimmy's last start was great too - "here comes Jimmy!"

I think that's it for Veloce Bella. It's a shame she didn't go out on a more successful note. She's pregnant though, and I think there's a rule here against pregnant mares racing after February.

Wow, Muse at the Grammys! Did you see them?

They did a really spectacular performance of Uprising, then they won Best Rock Album. They sounded completely surprised that they won. Matt said "our 10 fans must have voted 20,000 times each".

There was no way I could sit through that BUT my daughter was instructed to yell twice... once when they were on the red carpet and once when they performed so yes, saw it.
