TwinSpires Blog – Bull – What the Kentucky Derby Picture Looks Like Entering Championship Season
Sal says it’s tough to disagree with a writer who’s last name is Bull.
They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse.

ESPN – Harig – Rory McIlroy says golf outing with Donald Trump not ‘an endorsement or a political statement’
Sal says that we don’t have too much to worry about unless Donald Trump starts to golf with Dennis Rodman and take advice from him.
Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!

In 2006 the thoroughbreds had 119 race days, standardbreds had 154 days, talk about the decline of the roman empire under the present horse racing governance model.
