We have hte Melbourne Cup here, aprantly its the race that stops the nation

remember to put my name down for the office sweeps, and only turn up to
watch the race because of the afternoon tea afterwards. Horse races really
don't do it for me.


The Belmont Stakes normally isn't that big of a deal. This year was a
special circumstance, though, because Smarty Jones had won the first 2
races of the Triple Crown, and winning the Triple Crown *is* a big
deal.

If there's one horse race in the US that only casual fans take note of
(have office pools for, etc), I'd say it's the Kentucky Derby.


Now a from rags to riches story is another thing altogether - the horse race
is just the means to an end. In that case, I probably would have been
interested, but it didn't even make it on the news here, which is surprising
because less popular American stuff gets shown all the time (when its a slow
news day, usually). I always try to support the underdog, or should that be
'underhorse', so would have cheered Smarty Jones too.


Maybe you would have seen something had Smarty Jones won.


Oh yeah. Makes me sad all over again that he didn't


..
He's sooo tiny. Like a pocket-sized race horse. When he's in the
pack, you can't see him. Maybe he has to get out ahead because he
can't see over all the other horse's butts.

Heh. Maybe! Birdstone, who beat him, is even a few inches smaller.
