....the most wonderful high in the world is riding atop a galloping horse!

Yes it is! The second regret of my life is that I am too big to be a jockey.

AP/Reuters has some nice shots. Usually Hole N One comes in at 5:00 EST with the screengrabs..

Singer/ABC TV star Jessica Simpson, kind of a modern day version of Sonny and Cher..

Track Guy: "But it's a little slow out there, it rained last night."
Kramer: "Oh this baby loves the slop, loves it, eats it up. Eats the slop. Born to slop. His father was a mudder."
Track Guy: "His father was a mudder."
Kramer: "His mother was a mudder."
Track Guy: "His mother was a mudder?"
Kramer: "What did I just say?"

As Steve Cauthen once said:

Throw up and throw up some more...you will reach the weight!!!

One of the ones I bought a ticket on was Cliff's Edge.

star Jessica Simpson

Oh her -- from "The Apprentice." I have heard her sing -- she is almost as a bad as Brittany (but not nearly as ugly).

Thanks for the info. Should be an interesting race today.

[Miss Marple]

Latest weather reports show more rain coming.

My favorites:

1.Imperialism (Does that mean I'm a neo-con?)
2. Pollards Vision
3. Tapid (Got to like a horse that trains on Guiness)

Because there is likely to be a very wet track, I don't think that usual parameters will reply.

Besides, I want to see the headline "Imperialism Wins!" LOL!

Loyota Jackson and OJ in the house!

[m87339]

That's not her again, is it?

I am soo incredibly clueless on who is popular these days. That's because they all look like nuts and sluts to me so I gave up.
