Hey anyone watching the race? Lets talk here. Moderator, if I screw this up, please erase it.

[Endeavor]

He sure didn't have his game face today.

[Lemondropkid31]

Giacomo won the Derby, and Afleet Alex won the Preakness. They are both running in the Belmont.

[Endeavor]

Derby -- Giacamo (outta nowhere)
Preakness -- Afleet Alex (who should have run the Derby)

[MissTargets]

Hopefully, Afleet Alex wins it, I am with you. I missed the Preakness. Any horse that almost falls and goes on to win, is a true Champion in my book.

[Endeavor]

Make that "won" the Derby.

[KSApplePie_two]

Ready and waiting!!!

1 1/2 miles!!! Its gonna be fun.

[Lemondropkid31]

If you want to see the Derby and Preakness go to

and click on the right where it says ESPN Motion.

[Endeavor]

That's why I love Charismatic - wins the Derby and Preakness and then breaks his leg in the Belmont and still runs 2nd. My kinda horse.

[MissTargets]

A MOVER: Preakness winner and Belmont Stakes favorite Afleet Alex moved to a new barn Thursday. The surprising move came a day after Nolan's Cat arrived from Churchill Downs and was stabled in the same barn as Afeet Alex.

Trainer Tim Ritchey said it provides better access for the media. But there might be another factor: In the spring, several of Roman's horses were diagnosed with the strangles, a respiratory disease, in Florida.

Found it on ESPN!

BUMP!

[Lemondropkid31]

I think its on ESPN for five more minutes and then its on NBC

[LibWhacker]

That's why I only care to know one thing: post time.

Post time is 6:33pm eastern, 3:33pm pacific. :-)

[MissTargets]

Cool. Who do you pick?

Afleet Alex winning Preakness.

[CindyDawg]

Guess it's not just a poor horse disease huh?

[CindyDawg]

I don't have tv access.

[MissTargets]

Thanks, that looks better, then what I posted.

[Lemondropkid31]

Afleet Alex for me!!!!!! But I am worried about the distance. If he does not win, I hope Giacomo wins.

[Endeavor]

Certainly not. Anywhere you have young horses congregated together, you can have Strangles.

[MissTargets]

Guess it's not just a poor horse disease huh?

No, not at all.

You working today?
