I just read a story on drudge that says California Chrome may not race in Belmont Stakes if they don't let the horse use nasal strips.

“We have an excellent and veteran team of volunteers from throughout our community that serve as official Kentucky Derby hosts...”

There’s the problem. One of the most famous racetracks in the world won’t pony up *cough* to hire actual employees.

Basically Kentucky blue bloods holding their noses up in the air because a bunch of cowboys from California had the audacity to beat their horses..

Kentucky has an identity problem....even more than mighty Missouri..I just traversed the state north to south late last nite...

Western KY is very southern.....almost like west TN or northwest MS

very dark and flat and agriculture and drawls

Middle KY is part middle TN.....part southern Indiana

Eastern KY is serious mountain culture....former Unionist

Aside from western part it doesn’t feel super Southern to me but then again neither does Nashville anymore

But if you tell them they ain’t southern....thats fighting words

I know southern Indiana folks talk cuntry and disclaim anything north of Seymour

Its complicated....Dixie has grown yet shrunk

Anyhow....Kentucky is OK with me....

Just don’t get nosey in the eastern third

Well maybe they should have taken care of their mother themselves. Spoiled brats.
