Barbaro

Shouldn't that be the South End Presented by Yum! Brands?

 

It's not like every South End restaurant is a Yum Brands chain. You can't pass a block without passing a Mexican restaurant. Wish I could say the same thing about Italian restaurants.

Of course, we're finally getting a Starbucks on Dixie Highway. I'm hoping to run into Peter King sometime later this year.

 

Speaking of the area around Pimlico, it really struck me in the moments preceding the race that people appeared to be able to walk right up next to the racetrack and watch from the sidewalk outside. City buses were passing by right next to the track.

Just didn't seem to me like a fitting venue for a Triple Crown race.

 

So is this the 50th anniversary of the I-264 widening project yet?

 

Why can't they give a horse a prosthetic? Maybe a wheel that attaches to his leg above the break, so he can still walk, but it's supporting his weight from above the break point. Why wouldn't that work?

 

Storm Cat's stud farm gets $500,000 per live foal. Do the math on that one. The money is in the breeding barn, not at the racetrack.
Which is why Barbaro's owners are desperately trying to save him. If he was a $10,000 claimer, he'd be dead by now.

 

Maybe someday they can. But it takes time to develop a quality prosthetic. Plus, you'll always have the risk of the horse throwing it off.

Just not sure it's feasible now.

 

No, more like the 15th. But it does seem like a long time ago.

In a few years, when they tear up Spaghetti Junction for the bridges project, people are going to wish it was as smooth the Watterson reconstruction. That's going to be one nasty project.

 

Frankly, no, I wouldn't. And yet, I think Bonds could deal with his ankle flapping like spaghetti a little better than that poor animal.

Really, really poor taste.

 

Great minds, dude...

 

Due to the powers of modern science its half bonds half barbaro

Weak rationalization for a lack of humanity.
