Triple Crown 2022-- Why the Long Face?

Post by wlu_lax6 »

1.) We getting a Bensell Triple Crown Challenge? (And appears my Travzilla signal failed on hockey)
2.) Driving home very late from my daughter's dance competition and flipped on the sports radio station. Some bad national syndicated show was all about triple crown talk. Big theory this is the year for a grey horse.

Smile Happy and Happy Jack
Early voting (wonder if that is owned by a Republican....tough call the owner grew up 3 blocks from Pimlico but is a hedge fund guy)

If there’s interest I’ll volunteer. If someone can send me the template I’ll be happy to run the digits.

So, as a hockey fan, I guess I’m rooting for the Canadian-bred horse that is named after Mark Messier.

Goddamn! Watching him come up the inside on the homestretch was a lot of fun. I think he went off at 81-1?

I don’t think the guy calling the race mentioned the winning horse’s name until he was about to cross the finish line.

I mean, that was amazing and all, but what were the #3 and #10 jockeys doing giving up the inside track like that after the turn?

If you look up the winning jockey on the internet, just know he’s Sonny Leon, not Sunny Leone.
