Horse racing has always been for the rich because it's very risky and they can afford to take the risk.

I've always been fascinated by how they name the horses by taking parts of their ancestors names. You can get some strange combinations.

Dog breeders often do this, as well. Check out the kennel names of some show dogs; not the name the dogs answer to (the "call name,") but the official names under which they are registered.

Justify is a darn good horse.

I surely don't care who owns him. Why would it matter?

Does the horse vote? What is the horse registered as?

What a stupid thread.

Someone asked Justify if he wanted to go to the WH. He said no, if I wanted to see a horse's ass I would've come in second.
