![]() "The Sport of Kings" was a category on Jeopardy tonight. All five questions were easy. And now my dream of being in 3rd place and risking everything on the Daily Double on a racing question to take the lead is dead. They won't have another horse racing question until after I'm dead.

![]() If it's any consolation, "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" has horse racing questions fairly often. Today included one- the correct answer was Jackson Bend. Really.

![]() It was something along the lines of "Which one of the following is not the name of a shoe designer, but a horse that ran in the 2010 Kentucky Derby?" I'd give you the other names, but I don't know anything about shoes, so I don't remember any of them.

![]() Come to think of it, "Millionaire" had a $100,000 question on racing, too: "These two Indian tribes' names are also shared by what two winners of the Kentucy Derby?"
