Well, well, well, my friend..looks like we have another huge disappointment in the ever elusive triple crown chase. The steroids weren't given to him this month in an obvious fallout from the whispers about it being tainted if he won. Well it looks like maybe they should have. It is pretty clear to me (and lets be clear about this, i don't know everything about the weird category of horse drugs that they list one the racing forms) that the roid rider was truly a creation of his training regimen. His trainer is a convicted felon and known roid trader who was as cocky as any moron i have seen in sports in some time. So to me it was clear on that day that the roids did play a part, no question. So now you go off to your stud farm somewhere and live off the rest of your days eating oats and hay with nothing to do but...well you know. But somewhere forever in my sports history mind this one will not sit well. Part idiot arrogant trainer, part mystery roid horse, and then of course the pull up last place walk in finish at the belmont. The goose bumps go up, they turn the corner...here we go....time for history baby!!!!! .....then.....oh....he's just pulled up....oh great...wow...congrats other winner horse I've never heard of.
So for another year i bid you adieu damn horse racing....although for those two minutes..it was such a rush.

Being down here in the Other America, I didn't manage to catch this whole "steriod" buzz, so I can't comment on that. All I can say is what I said on my blog prior to the race: No modern horse can win the Triple Crown any more. They just aren't hearty enough. They are bred for Freak-O speed, and therefore they are not as durable as they once were. I know I'm not making any serious scientific breakthrough here, but the Big Brown fiasco just reaffirms it for me.
Not only that, but I'm glad it didn't happen while I was away.
