Re: Horse racing’s Triple Crown

What goes through your mind as the races draw near?

A) Who cares? B) I prepare to avert my eyes from injuries. C) I think, “Secretariat would have made dog food out of these pretenders.” D) I wonder what sore-loser owner we will get to meet this spring? E) I think about how I used to watch the races with someone who is no longer here. F) I’m a little tired of Bob Costas. G) I think about jockeys forcing themselves to throw up and how the stomach acid eventually burns off their dental enamel. H) I think about what bad luck Sham had to be competing in 1973. I) Other.
