Spa - horses are living animals.  If horses worked as predictably as sports cars everyone here could get on one and ride it.

ALMOST everyone here, Sight.

Golf carts, that\'s another story.

I\'ll challenge anyone to horses or golf carts - bring it on

Seriously, I hold my breath every year at the jam ups in the Derby and Preakness.  Precisely because these riders are the best in the world, crashes and clips are rare.

I was just funning with our host, who has 11,000 cars, all of them yellow.

But you are right. What\'s amazing each year is how few jocks are hurt or killed, rather than how many.

Like the Gucci watch line.  Funny.

He\'s not perfect, but your analysis is correct. POTN stopped and altered his path. He didn\'t have a lot of options from there.  At last, somebody with an objective opinion.
