Default Alive for five

How is it I could be alive for 5 of the great champions and still can't guarantee a win in any horse race real or virtual in the world?
Thanks for making Saturday (the 1st in May) more fun!
You and yours stay healthy

What is even mildly interesting about this? To see how badly they pander to the recency bias?

I'm more interested in the Old Forester Kentucky Turtle Race. The slowest two minutes in sports!

Here you go:

https://www.drf.com/second-act

I found the lifetime PP of American Pharoah available on DRF with a search, I think it was 'Individual Horse Past Performance - American Pharoah'.

For Justify I found my PP from the 2018 Preakness on my PC.

It would be fun if Steve could sponsor a contest (straight tirfecta??) for a free T-Shirt(s) to the winner(s).

So, NBC has a random number generator that can produce the numbers 1 to 13 that is biased to include "popular odds" which is influenced by recency. Run the program, generate a number, and simulate the graphics. If I wanted to watch people play video games, I would sign up for a TWITCH account.

What's next? A home run derby between Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Albert Pujols for baseball junkies?

This folly is a response to the Arkansas Derby(s) being run on Kentucky Derby Day. The world of real racing is paying attention to Oaklawn and not Churchill Downs.

Let me know which number gets randomly selected.

If I have watched darts and pool and corn hole and marbles on ESPN, I don’t see a problem with a virtual race being shown. Nobody is being hurt by it and even if it’s only mildly interesting, it’s better than no sports at all. I bet 95% of the posters on this forum will watch.

No offense to anyone watching this but there will be actual racing going on while this is going on.

That’s what I’ll be watching
