What especially annoyed me about this derby is that the winning trainer is a woman, so she is being celebrated as the FIRST WOMAN to train a derby winner. Plenty of other women have accomplished excellent things in Thoroughbred racing, but because this person is the FIRST WOMAN, that's the big story all over the place. She even goes on Good Morning America tomorrow morning.
I am so, so tired of the Left always trumpeting the FIRST things that divide us: the first this, the first that, and the first other thing. *sigh*
Who says it’s the Left saying it. Horse racing (and I’m not a big fan) is male dominated. That the trainer was the first woman to train a Detby winning horse, I say that is wonderful. Congrats to her.
What is really fishy is that the woman commentator picked this very long shot to win just before the race. That struck me as very odd at the time.
