Breeders’ Cup Analysis

The Breeders’ Cup is only two days away and I’m so excited I can hardly stand myself. I would do a bunch of analysis here, but I have spent the last couple of weeks doing that on another site, and it’s way too much work to do it again. Through the power of links, though, […]

I’m mad as heck, and I’m not going to take it any more!

The Devil is here on earth, and his name is TSN!

Is Street Sense overrated?

There’s a very interesting post about the Kentucky Derby champion over at Handride. Basically, Patrick is not a believer. His argument is sound - Grasshopper almost beat Street Sense in the Travers, and then he was completely exposed in (not-so) Super Derby last weekend. Any Given Saturday also ran close to the Derby champ in […]
