Damn, Afleet Alex almost went down and was still able to win going away.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Damn, missed it.
Also, there's a really unattractive schadenfreudian side to me that was rooting against him in the Derby because of all the schmaltzy sentimental buildup, but that's still really happy to hear this. Psychoanalyze at your own risk.

Just read Bitches and Natter.
Someone? 'Splain the difference.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That was something, sumi. And the replay of the whole race really showed what a job the jockey did in positioning him, making moves at exactly the right time, and recovering from the stumble.

I can't believe that he kept his seat. And how tough is Afleet Alex? An excellent race.
I wonder what Scrappy T shied at. . .

People who use "schadenfreudian" correctly in a sentence need to be watching something other than whatever they were watching.

amych, perhaps if he hadn't almost fallen you would have felt less like rooting for him.

Maybe. I think it's more that the almost-falling-recovering-winning-the-race trope is one where the drama is about the actual race and not the human-interest story. Because I'm a massive sucker for the sports drama, yo.
