tiamatladyBut I'm watching the Preakness first.
I love the furry draft horsies, but I LOVE ME SOME THOUROUGHBREDS.
I want to take a race gallop someday. A mile and a half in less than 4 minutes. Face to the wind, nothing but muscle and power underneath.
And no, that's not sexual.
There's a yummy tall horsie, he's black, and not favored to win, but MAN was he tall. I need to find out which guy he was.
ADDENDUM - Name is Rock Hard Ten. SO SEXY!
If Smarty Jones wins today, I might be in NY in a couple of weeks. I'd like to see a Belmont, and I'd ESPECIALLY like to see a potential Triple Crown winning Belmont. We'll see.
Post Race Update - MEEEEEEP!
Smarty Jones byover a dozen lengthsseven and 3/4 lengths! The other favorite sped up too early. I totally called him when he slowed down. This little guy was AWESOME! He just took off in the final turn and the jockey had been holding him back and just let him go and BAM! no catching him.
Rock Hard Ten was a BITCH *grins* he didn't want to load, his jockey had to dismount, and they had to shove him in. He was ONE UNTHRILLED baby. But he was HUGE compared to the other horsies. AND - he took second. No catching Smarty, but if he hadn't been so evil, he might have had the oomph to try and catch up. I like him SO MUCH.
Now I'm going to give SERIOUS thinking about going to the Belmont. I wonder how hard it would be to get in?
