You did.  As always, history was made.

Just did some reading "a $3.1 million winner's purse." - apparently it'd be wiser to have a tall child and teach him to play basketball!  Or...be NJ.

Oh, man.  Going to have to boycott the second leg of the Triple Crown or really cheer for a man to win.

Not really. A horse won again.

But will people pay you exorbitant amounts of money to breed with your son?

That's a little personal!  And I'd need to have a son.  But I'm guessing yes.

That was probably the craziest horse race I recall seeing.  From the jockey falling off the horse as they are entering the gates to all the longshots that were in the final stretch.  Just crazy.

Yeah, it was fun.

And now everyone can go back to ignoring horse racing for the next 364 days.

"Falling off?"  With the horse going down to the ground, he got off as quickly as possible and clear of the 1300+ lb. horse so that he didn't become embedded in the track.

I had a horse that one time snagged the edge of the pavement, tripped, and toppled over sideways. Fortunately, his shoulder hit the ground first. Otherwise, my leg would probably have been broken in 2-3 places. and if he had rolled over me I probably would not be here typing this. The jockey had time to get off. I didn't, and I had a very sore leg but no broken bones. Riders have been killed by a horse going over backwards and landing on them.
