Kentucky Derby Bucks Activists, Plays Classic Song Before Race
The classic song “My Old Kentucky Home” will be played at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, as the event will choose tradition over the complaints from activists who contend the ballad is racist.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

He wasn't the fastest, biggest or most expensive but you can't beat a horse that won't be passed. He was my pick from the start.

Burbonics jockey was interviewed by Janice Dean Saturday morning on Fox. It was a great interview and attracted a lot of attention to the horse. The jockey has a beautiful family, a great attitude and left a couple of the Fox anchors shedding a tear. He is Hispanic (can't recall his name) and was from Louisiana. Sorry he didn't have a faster horse.
It was a good race in a crowded field on a beautiful day in Kentucky. Beautiful horses running fast with no injuries, what's not to like. Medina Spirit should be named "Tough Little Bastard." It will be interesting to see how he holds up at the other distances.
Regarding "My Old Kentucky Home," I'm glad they kept it as part of the show but they did omit the lyrics.

Horse racing was the NASCAR of the 1800s. Today, it's merely an anachronism.
But I'm biased. Never been on a horse and don't plan to. They're beautiful animals, to be sure. It's just that I think they're better on a plate than a track.

Horses aren't fully developed, too many injuries because they're racing too young at 3-yrs. That's my opinion and that could make this thread run 20 pages with all kinds of differing opinions. 3 years is fine IMHO, 2 year old is when they start and that is a bit young Some changes in the dog (especially sight hound/racing dog) world too. Couple of years back the thinking was if one figured out their male wasn't going to be a breeder/confirmation show dog, then they get clipped early. Our most recent one, Dandee, came with a contract said we wouldn't neuter him for 16 months minimum. He has some pretty well developed muscular legs, stockier than our other male who was clipped early. And we stayed away from performance type events with him until he was over a year. Makes sense to me, look at the difference between a steer and an ox. Imagine it's not a lot different with horses. Don't push them until they've fully developed and I guess that's where the controversy is? Big money players want some return on investment too???

Kind of "olive" looking skin there. Maybe "not goy"?

That horse in the #1 slot with decent money making odds couldn't get out off the rail. I was watching him. No chance getting boxed in like that.
I think the favorite started too late for the final push, had a nice burst there after that last turn and looked to be gaining.
What a scheidt show that whole deal is though. Wife and I fast forwarded thru all the BS, just watched the race basically. And sorta had to laugh at the masks. 1/2 the folks not wearing them, 25% wearing them incorrectly, 15 % with them down around their necks, and the rest going back and forth between all those options.
Yep, masks work!
The gray horse on the outside was reeling them in it appeared, he just ran out of track and time. I believe that was the favorite.
