Derby Fever: Where 'stupid' is contagious

[Travis Stone]

It's a horse race, anything can, and often does, happen. And oh yeah, it's the Kentucky Derby. An extremely small percentage of horses actually have a shot at the race, and an even smaller amount actually make it.

Whether or not horses belong is an argument and discussion we could have for ages. Because, truthfully, there are lots of horses who have not, never will, did not or do not belong. But its the biggest race, it's the biggest stage.

I find it extremely hard to believe that more than 95% of the people on this board would skip the race if they had a chance to run. It's easy when you're behind a keyboard, but if you owned one of these horses, it's not as easy to type "pass."
