The Preakness

OK, I am not into horse racing, but I still like to see the Triple Crown races, so I just watched Afleet Alex win the Preakness. Amazing run, if you happen to catch it on replay: The horse went down to its knees (are they called knees?) on the final turn and the jockey almost fell out of the saddle when it brushed up against Scrappy T — the horse I was rooting for, actually, because I like the name! — but managed to keep going, took the lead and won the fucking race!

: )

“He’s just that athletic, and I was just that scared!” — Jeremy Rose, Afleet Alex’s jockey.
