I think it's such a shame. The Pim Special has been historically one of the most prestigious races and now it gets thrown in the trash every few years.

Don't forget this is the race where some loony hopped over the rail and punched Artax during the race in 1999.

No, that was the Sprint on Preakness Day. The Pim Special is at 1 3/16ths and lately has been run the day before.

You're right. I had thought it was a route, but that would have been incorrect. I'm all about being inaccurate today.

That was the funniest thing I have ever seen in sports. Some guy did something very similar at Santa Anita one year.

LOL! That punch reminds me of a drunk guy who went after me at a bar once.

I love how the guy just stands there after taking the swing like he is saying "oh, drat! I missed that Chop Chop guy!" I figure he would have tried to run.
