2. GO BIG BROWN

I want a triple crown


in my lifetime

[TZ]

3. Yes.

And I intend to TiVo it..Because it could be a historic moment

[Lady Freedom]

6. So you know the time of the race ?

[greenbriar]

7. I am in Kansas and I think 4:30

that is when the coverage starts

[femmocrat]

9. I am.

I'm a little worried about Brown.... hope he's healthy enough.

11. and once again the commentators come up short

you could here their desperation for a triple crown winner in the pre-race buildup. One of them even said that it's such a sure thing that they shouldn't even allow betting on this race :eyes:

And now, three minutes after the race, they still haven't shown us the winner :wtf:

Congrats to Da'Tara :toast:

[pokerfan]

12. Yeah, it was a great race

Da'Tara's opponent ran a great race but came up short in the end and all everyone wants to do is focus on the loser instead of the winner. What's next? A Big Brown concession speech?

13. If I were Big Brown, I wouldn't run hard

He already knows the rest of his life will be at stud.

Apropos of nothing, I wish I could do something so well that I'd be retired to stud. It is my life's ambition.
