the preakness stakes...


Throughout the years, I really haven't paid attention where the Preakness is actually run. FYI, it's in Baltimore @ Pimlico Race Course.

For some reason, I'm interest in the Triple Crown this year? I'm hoping Big Brown wins the Preakness to complete the second leg.

On the other hand, thoroughbred racing is mired in controversy revolving drug use, purging by jockeys, the inhumane treatment of horses who don't live up to potential and expense, etc...

Then again, what sport isn't dirty?

Wow! What a finish by Big Brown! He actually slowed down @ the end! Big Brown isn't dominant like Secretariat, but he looks like a Triple Crown Winner!
