2008 Kentucky Derby Live Thread
The Fastest Two Minutes In Live Comment Sports


This is the worst idea ever ... so naturally, we're going to roll with it.

Pretty sure this has to be the first ever two-minute live blog, but whoever can post the most during the race wins countless thumbs up and FanIQ Fan Points.

Above is a sappy montage of all the stretch runs dating back to 1986. Enjoy.

I'm sticking with Cowboy Cal as my pick.

Big Brown took a dump on everyone. I approve.

I hope he takes a dump on the Triple Crown.

Looks like we have a new Barbaro. That would be Eight Belles. Except this one didn't win the Kentucky Derby. So no one will care.

As Dwight Schrute put it:

"I believe could win the Kentucky Derby and I wouldn't need a horse to do it. I could do it on a motorcycle."

Oh God Bless the USA and it's hypocrisies.  Let's hang Michael Vick for fighting dogs and condemn Manny Ramirez and Pedro Martinez for fighting birds and let's gag at the thought of fighting bulls but when it comes to our own traditions, you better not say anything!  Fat pigs with stacks of cash throwing money at midgets that beat on horses, and the one's that don't perform get a bullet between the eyes.  What's the difference?
I'm not a big horse racing fan but last time I checked nobody put the horses in a pit and made them fight to the death.  No one stabbed them with a sword for hours at a time. 

The difference is no one makes any money off the death of the horse.

I just got back from being at the Derby infield for the weekend. They'll be more on this later, but let me just say that whether you think horse racing is a sport, everyone needs to go to the infield at least once.

 

Sad about Eight Belles. It took a while before that got through to the infield. Puts a damper on the $70 exacta win my group won thanks to her.

What will being there live do to convince me it's a sport?  The midgets are there to make sure the horse goes straight, and to occasionally beat on them to get them to go faster.  What ability that must take.
It has nothing to do with the sport. The infield is all about drinking and gambling. Oh, and boobs.
