I would love to go someday, for the experience. I don't share the same, sentiments re: the most exciting two minutes in sports, however. I understand that there is an incredible amount that I will never comprehend about the "sport;" but, ultimately, I can't look past the fact that these are animals – not athletes. The dynamics of ownership in horse racing also leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The Olympics' 100 meter dash gets my vote for the best race in sports.

I get that it's a sport for "rich white men" but most of these horses are treated like gold. The few that aren't def leave a bad taste in your mouth

100 meter is def in my top 10

I still think it would be an awesome event to attend, and you can't argue with the tradition.

One of my old roommates and I had many long (slightly drunken) debates about what is and is not a "sport".  One factor we agreed on was that anything not human or gravity powered wasn't a sport.  No horse racing, no auto racing, no sailing.  We disagreed on bicycles and skis…

Anyway, I can't get interested in the Derby.  It just holds no appeal to me.  I love track and field, but for my money, the 400 meters is a better race than the 100.

1. I hate baseball, always have.

2. the Astros are terrible.

3. because of #2, free tickets are really easy to get.

4. also because of #2, we are in the sixth inning of a 9-0 beatdown.

5. the weather is beautiful and the seats are excellent.

Have developed a callous on my left index finger from doing/undoing IH pants. Breaking in 2x23oz + 1x21oz at the same time = game over for my finger.

Oh, and I passed my exam, passing exam comes with $1000 bonus from my employer, woo hoo!

Congrats, Snowy. So what IH piece are you getting? Haha.

How about saddling athletes and whipping them all the way to the finish line?.. I'd love to see that…

And this, always this...

[Megatron1505]

Sport or not?

"Monkey chasing Pig Steeple" should be an Olympic sport as far as I'm concerned…
