I hope NBC enjoys its 0.4 rating.

 

Not even a 12-pack of Natty Boh will make this race watchable. A shitty race, from the land of pleasant living.

 

Maximum Security vs. the KHRC: Who will win in court?

 

Every race is watchable - from Arkie-bred maiden claimers in January at Oaklawn to this Preakness to whatever overseas track TVG pipes in at 2 am.

 

I love horse racing from my days going to Fort Erie as a kid but just have no interest in the Preakness, even if it might be the last one at Pimlico.

 

And, more importantly, as degenerate gambler Huggy Sr. used to say, there has to be a winner.

 

I forgot all about it
Turned it on after PGA ended
Saw the replay
War of Will won

 

*fart noise*

 

That was a great Preakness today.
