You may return to your regularly scheduled candidate bashing. For a 1/2 hour anyways.

1. Animal cruelty disguised as sport for obscene rich pukes.

Other than that, it's fine.

4. Oh please, you're its biggest fan.

I have the IMs to prove it.

[squawk7700]

9. I don't understand what that means.

Anyway I was mostly referring to the horse owners.

[greenbriar]

5. I am far from rich and I enjoy it

infact, it payed me through a semester of college when I was bartender at a small track

and hubby was video replay for the judges

[greenbriar]

2. Go Big Brown

I am ready for a triple crown winner

of America.

[gristy]

11. Big Brown wins it - by 5 lengths at least

[greenbriar]

13. and it looked like he could have kept running with ease

it was a thing of beauty

[Wizard777]

14. That a heck of job your doing there Brownie!

Well somebody had to say it!

[StarryNite]

16. Ha!

:rofl: That was good!

I can no longer bear to watch the races after Barbaro's sad ending. I'm glad I didn't see the Kentucky Derby this year. Yet a part of me still hopes for a Triple Crown winner. But part of me says no because it will just keep the insanity of horse racing going. Bottom line, they need to make some big changes in the racing industry...and soon!

15. I think I'd like to go to Freakness instead.
