Home slice already has that covered... likely to be followed by "worst belmont ever" and "worst saratoga ever" blogs...

As for Wetzel, stick to picking losers in fantasy golf, or getting '62 out of 65' right in your college basketball bracket predictions!!!

In his honor, I'll bet $100 on the prettiest lucky number horse, slam a beer, crush the can over my head, and yell to some chicks to "show your t*ts" at Pimlico. Douchebag.

If it isn't, we can always funnel some beers and holler at some girls, according to Wetzel.

Can we do that regardless?

For you? Of course.
I'll dust off my double-can Genny hard-hat while we're at it.

Oddly enough, I found this part of the article to be right on:

To call the horses a secondary attraction for many fans is to vastly overstate their importance. It may be cruel and impolite to say but, for many fans, the horses are only slightly more valued than a bumper in NASCAR and only moderately more than a keno ball or an ace of clubs.

The horses are nothing but the means by which all the drunken gambling is made both legal and socially acceptable.

I'd have not added the "drunken" part but I think the rest is correct. Maybe not when talking about people who are really fans of the sport, like most of us on these message boards. But go spend a day at the track, listen to the people talk about which horses they bet. It seems like 90% of the time, they have no idea what the horse's name is or anything about him. The horse is just a number. A means to make money.
