I think IHA actually understands the concept of racing. I was watching his youtube of being sold for 11K, and even then he was sharp, authoritative and above the crowd - of people, not the other horses.

LOL, but warning guys and gals. The audio is by George Carlin and it is a little bit on the raunchy side.

When the reporter asked Steffi about her hat she had to stop and think and then said it was designed for her by so-and-so. I hope she didn't spend more than a buck 2-80 on it!

Mrs p6's hat - that she put together from a nice springtime white hat and parts from the freaking craft/fabric store - SMOKES Steffi's! It's in it's second year, LOL!

For the Derby, always go with Family 23. I’ll Have Another and Dullahan are 23’s. Next best way is best female line that is not 23. Went The Day Well is from the female family of Secretariat. I always give my friends 3 names to bet. most years they win. I had I’ll Have Another, Dullahan and Went The Day Well. My son didn’t bet this year because I blew it last year. Boy needs to remember Mama knows these things-LOL.

I - fun only this year - picked I'll Have Another but I have to admit I was a little put off by the smallness of the neck. Usually I like a horse with a thicker neck for breathing.

Our 4 YO grandson - we start 'em young - picked Bodemeister and Take Charge Indy. Had me worried for a while, LOL!

This is a good one. I hope she wore it with a black, or a white, dress, although black with white polka dots would work too. That is stunning and better than anything they showed on TV.
