would be fun to try if one had pp's and time. i guess one pick per race tho, correct? should be interesting to see it go down.

I had an argument with a friend probably 20 years ago who said jockeys weren't in danger on the grass because it's soft.

Not wanting to get into the idiosyncrasies of the possibility of being trampled I explained they're doing between 30 and 35mph.

Leaving the track he insisted he was right and after a quick trip to the nearby forest preserve I challenge him to jump out of my jeep into the grass at 30 mph. He said no problem until we got up to speed and he said f'u.

Sidenote: A couple years after that he lost three fingers in a molding press probably because it wasn't dangerous and who needs wired saftey gloves.

I have faith that the Retarded Hen could do this in his sleep.
