Eleanor Mondale is one of the commentators right now for the pre-race coverage for ESPN2? I didn't know she was doing sports coverage, quite a notch down from making it with the President in the Oval Office.

Dealing with horses is a huge step up from dealing with a jackass.

It's in the llllockbox, Willllbur.

Who do you like in this one? Track should be firm ,, cool day ,, only 10 horses entered. Hey, 3rd place is a hundred grand, not bad.

I pick Peace Rules for an upset. I think he has the ability to get off to a fast start and lead early on.

[NormsRevenge]

Should be a good one! I like Kissy Face .. err.. I mean Funni Cide, He has pizazz! Nice to see the little guy win once and awhile.

[carenot]

PING!

[fly_so_free]

Go Funny Cide!! It would be great if he could make a Triple Crown attempt, especially after the whole stupid NON-EXISTENT photo controversy. I hope NBC tells the whole story about him (Funny Cide) about how a gelding hasn't won since 1929 and the trainer only has 3 or 4 horses in his entire barn. It's a great story.

[NormsRevenge]

Almost Post Time! Giddyup!

[NormsRevenge]
