Ummm....not really. A lot of horse racing fans were pretty pleased with that result, and the stupefied expression on Dutrow's face after the race was particularly enjoyable.

I thought it was going to awful when it referred to Big Brown as a legend within the first few minutes and had Ivarone on, but then it redeemed itself with having people like Crist on.

I caught the part where Ivarone said that the Belmont cost BB a stud fee of $200k per session. Back to the NBA playoffs after that.

Hopefully not back to the Hawks-Cavs game. I'm a Mets fans and I found my eyes wandering to other TVs to watch the rain crew work their magic instead of watching the awfulness of the Hawks-Cavs.

It was the semi competitive Magic/Celts. The Cavs are playing awfully well right now. Anyway i would rather watch Delonte West get his hair braided then listen to Ivarone speak as though he is some kind of expert.
