Oh yeah, I forgot. Is there a Triple Crown contender this year?

I heard yes, but I never keep up until the day, so I forgot the name.

LATER: Last year's winning jockey riding Justify will be riding this year's.

It's not just the Democrats. I was raised in that atmosphere, and absolutely love it. Sadly, bad breeding, to shave poundage, has turned the horses' legs into toothpicks. They can't handle the stress.
It shouldn't be a crap shoot, hoping the horse makes it around the track. It is starting to become commonplace, and it really is hard to watch.

Death at the racetrack: Horse racing's big struggle

The greatest sporting event I ever witnessed in person was a horse race at Mountaineer Park back in 1991.

The $2000 Mile and 70 yards claiming race. Fantastic race, taken in the stretch by the #7 thoroughbred Doctor of Medicine. Went off at 17 to 1, and I also had the Exacta which paid $196.

Races like that are a lot more exciting, because the horse's know they will end up at the glue factory or on some Frenchman's dinner plate if they lose. A lot more at stake for the equines.

Thoroughbred racing is too high-falutin' for me. I'm more into harness racing and will wait for September's Little Brown Jug.

Moved out of lane at the last turn and caused the eventual winner to have to pull up.

Relatively close, about an hour north of Mountaineer is the fantastic Mahoning Valley.

Are there lanes in horse racing? I don't really understand what "ducking out" is as they called it in what I did see. I would think that whoever is in front has the right of way on such things
