[censored] horse racing, [censored] it's stupid politics, and most importantly...... [censored] HORSE RACING.

You must be a boxing fan.

Just so people don't think I am completely off the reservation...

This is horse racing, as TTM kindly pointed out. Doping is always on the table.

Ooh, close! I'm actually an avid curling fan.

It's always more interesting when the Triple Crown is in play.

Best race by the fastest horse in history. I really don't think this record will ever be broken. If i'm not mistaken, I remember hearing that he ran the 1 1/4 in the Belmont faster than he ran the Derby...and his Derby time is still the record, too. How he had enough to keep going that fast is crazy...it seems like he could have ran 2 miles at that pace.

Boy, they are really going out of their way to disprove the conspiracy theorists.

I'll Have Another will retire to stud

Never going to race again. Clearly, he must not really be hurt.
