It wasn’t Big Brown’s day today at the Belmont. In spite of the acumen of jockey Kent Desormeaux, who judiciously steered Big Brown to the outside early on, and who appeared to be content to let Big hold in third down the backstretch, there was “just no horse” 1 left coming off turn 4.
Desormeaux [...]
The Belmont post parade underway. Big Brown looks like he has another day at the office.
Run, big fella. 1-4 odds to win; only way to cash a huge ticket is to bet a bunch.

Tomorrow, the running of the Belmont Stakes, the third jewel of the Triple Crown. Having been an admirer, if not a good judge of horseflesh for a long time, I’ll just say Go Big Brown. Even if $2.00 gets me $2.10 for the win.
It’s been a long time since we’ve had a Triple [...]
Via The Fat Guy, news of a near tragic event. A.J. Foyt, “Super Tex”, a racer’s racer, was operating a bulldozer at the edge of a lake. The bank gave way, the dozer and AJ fell 15 feet into the water. He managed to crawl out of the steel cage around the dozer [...]

I was true to my own self today, and upon my arrival back at tbbs World HQ, watched the Busch Race from Dover.
At the conclusion of the Busch race, ESPN2 then switched to NHRA drag racing coverage, from Heartland Park in Topeka KS. It’s qualifying run coverage as I type this; man, unleashed [...]
Racing has resumed at the Brickyard, and green has fallen on Charlotte. They’re racin’ their brains out in both places.
Danica Patrick now runs 4th at Indy. There’s a boatload of laps to go at Charlotte.
I think I’ll see if history unfolds at the Indy 500. 1

Well, the Indy 500 is under a rain delay right now. And I can salute the teams that saw it coming, and planned their strategies accordingly. We’re past halfway in the race, so the race is official, if they can’t get back to racing.
According to the ABC/ESPN coverage, Roger Penske, legendary team owner, sends [...]
Jim Nabors won’t be singing this year at the Indianapolis 500. I can remember very few Indy 500’s where he hasn’t sung Back Home Again(in Indiana). When I hear it sung, I never fail to tear up a bit, not because I’m an expatriate Hoosier, but because I know about the longing for [...]
How ’bout that Curlin? By a head, the winner of this year’s Preakness. He survived a stumble at the start, his jockey survived having to bail off a horse in an earlier race, and ran down Street Sense in the final lengths of the Preakness.
If you’d followed my advice in the previous post, you’d [...]
