We Aren’t the Only Ones Still Bummed About Big Brown’s Loss

Take fellow blogger Mike Hayes, who has made us very jealous went on a Triple Crown trek hoping to see the action live when history was made.
He made us even more jealous also saw Roger Federer beat Andy Roddick at the 2007 U.S. Open and the New England Patriots beat the New York Giants in […]

VIDEO: Big Brown’s Big Triple Crown Upset at Belmont

If we weren’t so bummed out about Big Brown’s tremendous loss to Da’ Tara at the Belmont Stakes, we might joke that the last-minute scratch of the Hooters girls is to blame.
Alas, we were hoping to see a Triple Crown—we were still in diapers when Affirmed won in 1978—and so we’ll tone down the snark. (A little).

Maybe Big Brown Just Isn’t That Into Big Breasts

Or maybe he is but they really, really distract him during a race.
Or maybe Double D’s are bad luck in the horse world. 
Or maybe Triple Crown hopeful Big Brown has a jealous filly back in the stable.

Big Brown is a Big Favorite at the Preakness

Yes, we know horses don’t rant, engage in scadalous behavior, or date celebrities. But we heart horseracing! We couldn’t just snub the Preakness, quite unlike that snotty girl at the gym who stopped talking to us for no good reason and who won’t even make eye contact with us when we stand at adjoining lockers.  
Big Brown’s convincing win at […]

R.I.P. Eight Belles

No gossip or rumors or even snark here . . . just a tip of the hat to Eight Belles, the filly who came in second to the amazing Big Brown in the Kentucky Derby.
After crossing the finish line, Eight Belles collapsed with two broken ankles and was euthanized immediately.

Eight Belles (L) finishes second behind […]

What’s in a Name and Celebrity Hat Action at the Kentucky Derby

Ah, Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby. Boy do wish we were there, kitted out in a pretty chapeau and sipping a caipirinha. (To heck with mint juleps. We don’t like them, and we don’t care how “cairpirinha” translates).
If you want the dish on the Derby, b5 media’s Thoroughbred Fever will tell you all you need […]
