tiamatladyI know I've been Posty McPost Pants today.
But I just saw the CUTEST thing.
I was watching a reply or two of the race, where they focus on the winning horse.
And it was neat to see
- the exact moment the jockey told Smarty to GO.he was just sitting and then all of a sudden it was all arms and legs and I could almost hear him saying "GO GO GO!" just as the turn became straight again.
- the horse himself. Either he's smarter than he needs to be, or the noise got to him. But he was all outstretched neck, and ears back, but the instant he crossed the finish line, before the jockey even pulled him up, his ears went Straight Up. Maybe it was the noise increase of him crossing the line that got his attention. I'd like to think it was he KNEW he'd won, and done what he's meant to do. Smart ass.*grins*
(although I have to say I could do without the whole patriotic themes going on. America's horse indeed. it's a run around a circle, he didn't save the world from Evil Gundums for gawd's sake.)
