I think it was in Wichita, KS... and it was fun! Plus, I picked all the winners, but one, and he ran second... just by looking at horse confirmation, or how well they were built for speed.

Too much money at stake, too much abuse to the horses. Those Thoroughbred horses start training under a saddle before their backs are fully mature! That's the only way they can have them ready to run in a 2-year-old race!Rebecca Gillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341836304924085727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-65200067435503731472015-06-10T16:28:34.557-05:002015-06-10T16:28:34.557-05:00There are several cold-blood draft horse breeds th...There are several cold-blood draft horse breeds that came from the Knight's warhorses. I think Percheron is one, but I haven't studied up recently. <br /><br />No, since he has a Stetson and twangs, no British accent. Duroy's ancestors settled in the American West. <br /><br />I'd be excited about that, but I trust nothing about sports anymore, so much is rigged these days. And I gave up watching the Triple Crown at least seven years ago because of how a lot of Thoroughbred race horses are treated, drugged, etc. It's a dark, dark world, the underbelly, that is. And who knows if the fix was in, or not? Sorry to be a downer, but I simply can't defend horse racing anymore. If it was on the up and up and the horses were treated well, I'd be all for horse racing. 'Cause, I love it. And I loved racing my horse against any and all comers.

Does he have a British accent?<br /><br />I think this week's posts should be dedicated to the first Triple Crown winner in 20+ years.
