Just turned on ESPN. Their lineup:

2019 Golden Tee World Championship (video gaming)
National Stone Skipping Competition
Cherry Pit Spitting Championship
Dodge Juggle (yes, they juggle while playing dodgeball)
Putt-Putt Championships
2019 Stupid Robot Fighting League
2019 World Sign Spinning Championship
2019 Jelle’s Marble Runs (it’s marble racing)
Lawn Mower Racing
Slippery Stairs (racing to the top against slippery obstacles)
2019 Death Diving World Championship


But some will have you believe that it’s silly and a waste of time to have a virtual race of the 13 Triple Crown winners.

It’s silly because there is LIVE racing on.

Funny thing I just realized. You can watch both live racing and take a couple of minutes and watch a virtual one and, and, wait for it, go back to the live racing. A person can get up and go to the restroom and miss two minutes of live racing and nobody thinks it’s silly.

But you’re right. We were all irrevocably damaged.

Normally we have 10-12 tracks running and 7 of them at the exact same time.
this one was not overlapping anything at OP, so it was pretty easy to watch it for a couple of minutes.

Easier then most any other day.......

Not sure what that has to do with the post. I will say that I did go pee and watched the virtual race and watched Oaklawn. Amazing.
