I should have known you would show up and ruin the party. It is an entire culture built around the horse race. The largest fireworks display in the world, marathons, minimarathons, steamboat race, balloon race, parties, parades, beautiful women everywhere.

How are the Tigers doing? Detroit. Puleeze.

Good pick. I watched him win the Florida Dearby at Gulfstream. He beat Sharp Humor by a neck and is undefeated.
If Barbaro does a well job, he will break his neck too, I bet.

The Tigers are doing very well, thank you. We're 15-9 after trouncing the Twins 18 to 1 yesterday. The time on the game: 2 hrs. 56 min. That's a proper sporting event. Two minutes is worthy of a between inning promotion and nothing more. When they have three guys dressed up in hot dog costumes racing around the outfield during the 7th inning stretch, that's about the equivalent of the Kentucky Derby. About as exciting too.

I would rather watch paint dry than watch the Tigers play. I hope they have a terrible season so you will have something else to complain about.

Complaining? Perhaps you have mistaken my tone. The Tigers are 15-9 and crushed the Twins 18 to 1 last night night. We've outscored them 27 to 1 over the last two games. I'm not complaining. I'm gloating.

I'm glad you are happy with the Tigers; now let's get to the topic of this thread. Who do you like in the Kentucky Derby?

I sense another agenda here. I'm betting he's mad that a four legged animal with a pea brain is going to make more money in two minutes that any of those snuff spitting, ball grabbing players on the Tigers will make in a season. Then he'll be put out to stud where he'll make more money than Wilt Chamberlain.

Whoa! Whoa! I may have to be re-evaluatin this here Kentucky Derby thang. I was just lookin up the lyrics to "My Ole Kentucky Home" which they always sing before the race. It always seems to bring tears to the eyes of the most beautiful womens. It begins:

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
Tis summer and the darkies are gay.


Yo, I just can't tolerate that. It may be OK for the Lady Chablis, but not for me.

Do I need to send Ravello over there to change your orientation regarding this event?

No, I don't swing Ravello's way. You can keep him.
