Hey sumi and Plei, what did you think about the Belmont?
This crop is weak as all get out, but it's nice to see my boy Tiznow get a classic winner.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And what do you think about Dutrow, at this point, shifting the blame onto Desormeaux?

The Amazing Touch of Implosion returns!
Sigh. Coworker leaves for an hour and what happens? BOOM.

Disappointing race, happy to see Da'Tara do it for Tiznow (like Plei said) and I'm also v. disappointed in the tv coverage.
I haven't read new stuff from Dutrow - but he's not the only one questioning Desormeaux' decision to ease the horse. I think if BB had quietly slowed down the rest of us would have been okay - but he fought Desormeaux all the way. My question is - if he was out of gas, why not just let him coast?

One of the Bloodhorse bloggers thought that Desormeaux should be suspended.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
JZ, did you get the DVD I sent you?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Vocab question that's driving me crazy - when a Jew visits Israel for the first time, it's called ____. Pretty sure it starts with a Y, means something like "homecoming." Opposite of diaspora.
Help me, Buffista hivemind! You're my only hope!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Fuck you, cancer, you asshole.
I really, truly, don't mean to be antagonistic here, and it DOES totally suck that Paul Newman has lung cancer, but -- isn't the connection between a lifetime of smoking and its odds of causing one to develop lung cancer a well-supported medical fact?
Like I said, it sucks that he has it. And cancer IS an asshole. But....first-hand smoking is a lung cancer risk factor that's avoidable. I'm not pretending that it's easy to quit, but still.

Dude has always been a tool.

By the time that fact was being widely advertised, though, he was well into adulthood. In the 40s and 50s, the things were still being sold as good for you and your nerves.

It strikes me as a little weird that Desormeaux eased him up so much, but on the other hand, after what happened to Eight Belles, they would have had his *head* if anything had happened to Big Brown.
