No Triple Crown - Again
:(
I love horse racing and the past few years horses have come close only to lose the Belmont. And yet again this year. Hell of a race though. |
There were only 3 horses in that race it seemed.. I don't follow horse racing much, but what's the deal with the horses that were way back?
Did they seriously think they had a shot, or were they just in it for name recognition? |
smarty jones owned.

I watched that in beautiful HD.
It was an exciting race. I consider myself detached from the sport, but I'm able to appreciate a possible milestone. He was in command, but birdstone just came out of nowhere and stole it. |
I'm the type to watch races on TV and yell at the TV.
I was sitting here when they were coming around the bend "Let him out! GO!!!" Then when I saw Birdstone coming on it was "Oh no! Noooo... come on Noooo" Well, theres always next year. Thats the beauty of horse racing... New crop of horses next year. |

If I were the owners of Birdstone, I wouldn't take him within 50 miles of Philly ever again, on risk of having him stolen and sold to Elmer's. |
I wonder how much money in total was lost betting on Smartey..... I just wonder
millions? hundreds of millions? Lots of people thought it was a sure bet |
He was the most bet on horse in history. 7.5 million for this race.
That was the way horse racing should be though, Birdstone pulled HARD over about 4 or 5 steps to damn near break even, and then kept pulling through the end. |
Just shows there's no sure thing other than death and taxes

i'm not much into horse racing either, but i ALWAYS watch the triple crown. there's a feeling i get while watching the race that i can't explain. it's so exhilirating. to say that i was disappointed with the result of today's race would be a mega understatement. i mean, it's only a horse race, so why do i feel so depressed all of a sudden?

Off to the glue factory for Smarty so little kids can make stuff and eat him.

I can't get into horse racing at all but I got caught up in the Smarty Jones fever. It's so refreshing to have a nice story behind an underdog. Smarty's alright in my book.
|
Yeah, it doesn't much seem to me that their will EVER be another Triple Crown winner. I mean , of course their will eventually, but damn I'm sick of all this teasing.
