About horse racing

[jhetley]

The various racing commissions go to great lengths to make sure that jockeys, trainers, and owners are honest.  How about the horses?  I haven't had a great amount of experience with equines, but even in that little, I have met some of the critters that would lie, cheat, and steal.  And sneer at you while doing it.

I think Big Brown threw the race.

Don't know the horse well enough to tell you his weaknesses. Lifetime supply of Winesap apples?

Every horse has his price.

Maybe Don Corleone left the head of Big Brown's favorite stablehand in his stall?

Or the stable dog.

Oh, this was the first Saturday in May, wasn't it? Interesting -- I must not have been around anyone all week who pays attention, so I never even thought about it.

June, my lady. You've been out of the loop longer than you thought.
