Default Hollywood movie kind of race today at Pimlico
Check out today's 11th at Pimlico. It's the last 30 seconds when it gets interesting...

Did you see the head on? He went AROUND the starting gate!

This came remarkably close to resulting in a ban on starting gates. That jockey is lucky to be alive.

I thought the most funny aspect was the winning trainers name:

In his 40 year career, in addition to Broad Brush, outstanding horseman and Vietnam veteran Marine Dickie Small trained '94 Classic winner Concern. He's one of the most respected men in racing from one of the most respected families in equestrian life. His uncle was Hall of Fame trainer Sidney Watters. Small will saddle the nice Broad Rule in the PIM 4th shortly..

Pretty amazing that you would even need to explain who he is. Less amazing that the guy made fun of his name.

Speaking of Broad Brush. His Pa Derby was nowhere near as extreme, but he won in similar fashion - bolting and coming on again.

Thought it was hilarious, just the way Xavier Perez said "it was nuts" in the interview...I literally laughed out loud. Glad to see that both him and the horse came out of it in good shape.

Spicer Cub has blinkers on in the first race at Pimlico today, 1:10pm. Keep an eye on the starting gate. (Not when they come out of it, of course. Later on.) At least I'm assuming he's racing in the blinkers. I guess Perez could've meant he just trained in them.
