    not me, I gave up horse racing.
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

    I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

      I'm watching. Every year it seems like a horse is going to be the next one to win the Triple Crown. Let's see if Big Brown can finally do it this year. Part of the problem is, the jockey's fight against each other and will often push out the horse/jockey going for the Triple Crown.

      I also hope all the horses get through it unscathed. There's nothing worse for me than seeing a horse break down on the track.

          Well, it's not going to happen this year. Big Brown pulled up near the end, but was pretty far out of it. Belmont is always the toughest leg of the Triple Crown as it takes a different type of horse to win it.

          Did anyone see the story about the jockey's son who rides Big Brown? Pretty sad story.

            No Triple Crown again. Happens almost every time a horse takes the Derby and the Preakness. The Belmont is just a completely different race than the other 2.

              I knew Brown was going to lose. I told everyone I talked about Belmont w/that Big Brown wouldn't win. I know nothing about horse racing, but I knew Big Brown would not win.

                Exactly. Belmont is longer than the other 2 and takes a special horse to be able to win all 3.

                  I'm disappointed I was pulling for BB...Good move by the jockey to pull up though.

                    This was USC v Texas. New England v the Giants. Everytime the media starts overhyping someone before they win it all, they pull a clunker.

                      Every year, same story. Horse racing can't catch a break.

                        he never had a chance. He shouldn't have been racing in the first place.

                            Was the TV correct that the odds for Big Brown were 1-4?

                            What's the point of even taking those odds?
