For Want of a Nail
The race was lost…and with it, the latest attempt at the first Triple Crown victory since 1978 (not 1979, as ESPN claims…how pathetic is it when I know more about a sports statistic than ESPN?). Sorry, Big Brown. And, I must add that the trainer’s petulant bitching about how the loss was all the jockey’s fault rubbed me the wrong way from day 1. Asshat.

Poor Big Brown. I’m glad the jockey has been vindicated. 🙂

There was so much pressure on the jockey to bring Big Brown to the winner’s circle. I’m glad he had the judgement to do the right thing.

As the old adage says: The devil is in the details. Isn’t this such a pity?

I had no idea about the nail? I’ll have to come here to get the racing news from now on!
