Barbaro won by a lot. He's a gorgeous horse, but he had a lousy post position, so congrats to his owner, him, and his jockey for pulling it off. Let's just see if he can do the same in the Preakness and Belmont.

Yes, race fans, I'm a race fan. Rather, I'm a huge horseback riding fan, and riding English, like I do, is a lot closer to racing than this Western riding nonsense.

I don't actually bet money on anything. The worst I can lose is a diner breakfast. I can deal with that cost a couple of times a year.
