I won a good deal amount of money.
And I have Paris Hilton to thank. ‘Rags to Riches’? A girl horse? It was in the stars.
I didn’t think she could do it and didn’t bet on her...should have had more faith in the A.P. Indy bloodline.
Some jerk on ABC already did before the race. I gagged and choked when I heard someone make the analogy between Rags and The Beast yesterday. I thought for certain the nitwit had hexed the filly's attempt by comparing her to the Queen Pig!
