I didn't watch the race but I heard the result - what a great name! I'd've bet on her.
Natter 52: Playing with a full deck?
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I completely missed the Belmont. Shit. Sumi, do you know if there's video anywhere?
The Bloodhorse will put one up and I would guess that ESPN, ABC or Yahoo will too.
And the race totally rocked.
Okay, I checked the Blood Horse and the video is up on their site now.
Yeah, it was finally up on ESPN. Thanks.
I'm halfway glad I missed the coverage, if it was all that idiotic "battle of the sexes" talk.
Um, no - they didn't talk too much about that until AFTER the race because they figured that Curlin is a freak and that it was his to lose.
So, they talked alot about Curlin and about Hard Spun and about the jockey change in which Garrett Gomez went to Hard Spun so John Velazquez got the ride on Rags to Riches. . . and uh, a little bit about Slew's Tizzy. But that's it. Not much "battle of the sexes" stuff. (Still after she won the commentator called her "Street Sense"!)
Oh, and on the ESPN coverage when talking about that barn that they seclude the horses in prior to the race - twice they compared Rags to Riches to Paris Hilton.
Please - -Rags to Riches has more class than Paris Hilton could ever imagine.
Noah and Grace slayed me. I think some of those Noah pursed-lips pictures need to be icons. Everyone looks so pretty in their new duds, too.
Are there fireworks somewhere along the lakeshore or at Wrigley? I keep hearing distant explosive sounds.
If it's thunder it sounds really weird.
