I was really pulling for General Quarters, but Mine That Bird was my second fave.  Talk about coming out of nowhere! ÂÂ
I'm just glad that all the horses appeared to come thru the race unscathed.  I have to watch through my fingers, I worry so much about the horses.  Been too much sadness over the years.  |
Over the year's, another one had to be put down just yesterday. They're just plain and simply starting them to young.   |
I hadn't heard about one being put down yesterday.  I knew one had been scratched earlier this week, and one this morning, but I didn't hear them say anything about one being put down.  Last year with Eight Bells darn near killed me, I still can't get the picture of her lying on the track out of my head.  And Barbaro...
Santa Anita spent eleventy gazillion dollars on a new track that was supposed to be safer for the horses...and couldn't even use it because they didn't install a drainage system.  Small wonder they went bankrupt. |
No drainage plus the new dirt was a slip'n slide.
Just in case you get a craving, Hollywood Park has 50 cent hot dogs, and dollar beer. "Damn you sure know how to fock things up."-GFR
