The Sport of Kings (and paupers)

[Tomorrow]

Anyone here enjoy the beauty and excitement of thoroughbred horse racing? (I know at least one, !)

Let's hear your thoughts on tomorrow's fabled run for the roses, the Kentucky Derby.

I'm taking (I'll even put 2 bucks on his nose) A.P. Warrior, the 10 horse.

If I owned a horse, I would name it fear, or maybe stay (come stay!).

I have met a few horses, I don't like them much and I have a scar on my leg from one of them. I think they are about one of the dumbest animals on the planet, a cow is smarter than a horse. I basset hound is smarter than a horse and being a former owner of a basset hound I can vouch for their stupidity. Wonderful loving dogs, great with kids, and nice pet, but dumber than a house plant. Anyway, I don't like horses much except maybe in a bowl of chili

They say people often resemble their pets. So let me guess, you have a big nose, long floppy ears and stumpy little legs.

I agree, horses are truly beautiful creatures.

I'd love to own a horse myself, except I don't like living in the country, nor do I have the money to stable one, so I'll leave horse owning for those who can.

As for my riding skill...I've done quite a few horseback camping trips. You want fun...those are great..ride out about 20-30mi to set up camp..etc..well, so long as you know how to control your horse
