Well, that’s going to be an argument in bars tonite.  --------------------- LGBFJB "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

That sucks. Bad call. The crowd must agree as they give the trophy to the 2nd place horse to resounding boos. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Sure does. So the slower horse won on a technicality. The Lawyers have this one. You can't win on performance, win on sketchy rules that weren't obvious to those watching. The faster horse was DQ'd because he stuck his ass in another horses face. OK Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

He ran impressively, but I called that foul during the live broadcast of the race, with witnesses. Turned into a judgment call, but I think they made the right call. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Other things I didn't like was them showing Mint Juleps being served in copper cups. Who ever heard of that nonsense. A proper drink is served in silver. No, not silverplate. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

| stupid beyond all belief  |
Im sure there are rules but it seems BS as the horse who got cut off could have won if it wasnt cut off so accounting for that seems impossible. What man is a man that does not make the world better. -Balian of Ibelin Only boring people get bored. - Ruth Burke | |||

I agree. Thought since the horse primarily affected didn't object they might not call it. In the copper mugs are likely Kentucky Mules, rather than Moscow Mules. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

What the . . . ? I wasn't even close- good thing I didn't bet the farm. TMats observation about my lucky four of a kind post count just didn't pan out. I'm sure glad I didn't have to make that call. There will definitely be some heated discussion. Odds 65-1 on Country House.!! There are some really happy winners on that bet. ... and some really angry Maximum Security fans. Well, my mint julep is all wilted and I reek of cigar smoke. My leftover bratwurst is all shriveled, so I will now take a shower and lick my wounds.  May we all have better luck next year. *********************** * Diligentia Vis Celeritis * *********************** "Thus those skilled in war subdue the enemy's army without battle ....

For the first time ever... It's a bad precedent. Can a horse never drift, or change lanes? Will the judges decide every race rather than the fastest horse? "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Not so much as changing lanes, more like blocking. Looked more like Lagano and Elliott last weekend. | |||

Horse racing sure ain't NASCAR. I figured that was just part of racing. | |||

lol..first thing I thought. But Nascar and the Kentucky derby don't agree. Also illegal in sprints in bike races!!! It figures. I never much cared for horse racing but I happened to flip to it as the race was beginning and I thought. I like maximum security.. (Because of the name) and boom he loses in heartbreaking fashion. | |||
