I didn’t say a word about Thoroughbreds and I don’t think the polo ponies I mentioned were Thoroughbreds, but go ahead and hate me for that too. Maybe you don’t like people with blue eyes or women or owners of foreign cars. More to hate!

WTF do you think Barbaro and Eight Belles were? I don't hate you. I detest ignorant people like you who pontificate about that which they know nothing about. I'm guessing you prefer car racing where people are killed instead of horses. At least us horse racing folks don't attend hoping to see a big pile-up.

The Ledger in NJ, had a run-down on the different horses, along with can/can’t win comment. For “Flying Private” (50-1) ———He can win because: In horse racing, you have a shot if you’re in the gate. -—— He can’t win because: The horse is too slow.

LOL! I’m for Flying Private!

I wish all those stupid hats would just go away! Whatever happened to just a gracious Southern lady protecting herself from the sun with a wide-brimmed hat. Where will the breaking point be?

OK, tease me once, shame on me, tease me twice, shame on you.

No but really, thanks for the pics. Looks like everyone’s having a great time despite the gloomy wet weather. The mint juleps must help with that.
