No Triple Crown this year. Smarty Jones set the pace too early, dammit, and then they were so concerned about Rock Hard Ten (who is blindingly gorgeous, btw, even if I did keep clucking under my breath while they were trying to load him) that the rest of the field was, like, forgotten.

Sigh. Great moves from Birdstone, though. At least it was exciting.

i sat there in awe, watching, hoping beyond hope that roch hard 10 would pull it together and win...and while i was breathing away a sigh as i prepared for the favorite, smarty jones, to take triple crown out from seemingly nowhere flew in birdstone, like a rogue angel from heaven, if you may, who had forgotten his path of flight and wandered into unknown territory, blinking like a deer caught in headlights...i gritted my teeth, dareing myself to keep my eyes glued to the screen, the race would be over in a matter of seconds and my one wish for the day had been granted---the favored horse, the choice that was suposed to be unbeatable, the sure thing, had fallen and the underdog had come out on TOP.

OMG NO NO NO I WANT A TRIPLE CROWN WINNER!!!!! I WANT THERE TO BE A BEST HORSE IN THE WORLD, WHO CAN TAKE TO THAT TRACK IN NY AND SAY "EAT MY DUST, BOYS, A MILE AND A HALF AIN'T NOTHING TO ME." Because that's more than speed, more than breeding, more than a fast track and endless training and fat purses -- that's HEART.
