Goldikova officially upstaged Zenyatta.

I just knew something was wrong when she was so far back, but holy shit did she nearly do it. I'm so proud of her, and yet so crushed right now.

I wish they'd leave Mike Smith alone! Poor guy!

*goes off to cry in a corner*

Part two, yay! And this is where we get to the meat-and-potatoes of this event!

( Saturday's races )

Well, I'm done with my NaNo quota for the day (just over eight housand words, kickass, if I keep this up, I might be done by Thanksgiving!) so I thought I'd post about the Breeders Cup, since I've been paying attention to racing, thanks in large part to Zenyatta's awesomeness, and to my having TVG (for the time being anyway... when I move out, I ( Read more... )

Wow, Aunt Flo* arrived right on time. Amazing. She isn't usually that regular. Thus, I must wash my work pants, since I didn't know she was coming tonight. I knew she was on her way, of course, but.... looks like I'm going to have to stock up on feminine pads AGAIN. These monthly visits by Aunt Flo are really annoying ( Read more... )

I see a lot of my FList talking about the Breeders Cup, which is this weekend ( Read more... )

Well, now that we've had a few days to digest the Breeders Cup results, I think it's time I posted some early predictions for the Eclipse Awards.

Horse of the Year: Invasor. This is a no-brainer. Look at what he's done this year, and not just what he's done but how he's done it. He didn't have an "easy" race in the races that I saw him win. He had ( Read more... )

Because LiveJournal was a total dickhead and went kersplat yesterday, I didn't get to make my pre-race picks for the last two races ( Read more... )

So, it was Miesque's Approval in the mile. By the way, I could fucking KILL LiveJournal for being such a dick today of all days.

Anyway. now the Distaff.
