The heavily favored colt completed the quest by running away from seven rivals in the Belmont Stakes, three weeks after a rain-soaked dash in the Preakness and five weeks after a gritty, stretch-duel victory in the Kentucky Derby.

I wonder how jockey Martin Garcia feels. He was the only other jock to ride AP. He rode him once, in his very first race. Finished 5th, beaten 9 lengths! Victor Espinoza took over after that and has been perfect on him ever since.

It means “whore.” But it’s a common swear word, much like f*** in English.

That horse is going to get some tonight.

So is she.

LOL!

“They all call her ‘Puta’ cause no one really knows her name...”

Great race, great horse! I'm glad I was able to witness it first hand on TV...........

As a side note, following the death of what I feel is the greatest thoroughbred of all time, Secretariat, an autopsy revealed he had an enlarged heart which may have contributed to his success as a race horse........

[Palio di Siena]

great run by pharoh but still 2,65 seconds slower than secretariat.
probably 15 or so lengths slower.

Yup what did they expect, sticking a microphone in his face. He was flying.

I did not like the way the announcers apologized for him saying that.

"Last Triple Crown winner, we got Ronald Reagan in 1980.

This time we get Ted Cruz in 2016."

I would imagine Hillary was around 45?

No, she came in seventh with (a guess here) Chris McCarron aboard.

Why not?

What if Neil Armstrong had said "holy $hit!" when he first set foot on the moon? Some awareness of your place in history is called for with a suitable amount of decorum.

Prolly just a tad more than yours! ;-)

Doesn't matter. He's a beauty and he did a fantastic job.
