    I dont really know the answer to any of those questions but I know for at least one of the races in the triple crown the horse has to be a certain age. The only reason I know that is b/c I was asking when one horse almost one the triple crown one year if they had a chance next year/

    They say that horse racing is the "Sport of Kings".

    I say there is a reason we have a President and not a king.

    Horse racing has got to be the dumbest "sport" of all. Wow, I can whip a horse better than you, and I weigh 72 pounds. Kate Moss is my hero.

    Did you hear about the new Nascar/Kentucky Derby alliance? It's called Dumb and Dumber. Ha!

    I have no idea about all this horse racing stuff. But I think I might like it if I understood it. One question I have is why no single horse in the 125 year history has won the Kentucky Derby more than once. Another is, how long is a racing career of a horse, and also how old is a horse when he is entered into a tournament?
