Oh you mean like when a HUMAN, like Earnhardt died.
I know most of this stuff is not the same, but this knocking ESPN for what
it showed is WAY, WAY over the top.

Is this a good place to market my new horse racing DVD? It's called "The 50 most horrific breakdowns of all time"

Can I steal some anger my way a bit more?

Okay, here goes: If only Eight Belles had the good sense to go down before the wire, I would have had a nice exacta

Well, I tried, but the anger has settled back to the original few

For the record, I'm a big proponent of outlawing the whip in racing. Don't get me wrong here(I don't care much about my losing tickets)

Oh my goodness. Be ready for a barrage. I know I needed DOC for second, but I think I would've felt pretty bad if it shook out that way.

Guess that post wasn't so excellent for Denis of Cork, eh? Had he drawn further inside, Calvin wouldn't have had to run such a drastic diagonal line to the rail and cost him a few lengths, then maybe he could've gotten up for second.
