After all, American sports fall a distant 3rd in the world scheme behind soccer and cricket.
Good luck to Big Brown at the Belmont!
Hehe, I sat in CGN last year for a 4 day St Patty's day layover watching the Irish beat Pakistan (Pakistan coach murdered after the game). I had the wikipedia open as well, prior to hitting the half dozen or so Irish pubs in CGN. A HUGE win, to say the least!
AA, thanks for lunch and the beer today!
BTW - Big Brown's great-great-great-grand daddy is my thoroughbred's (
Big Vig) great grand daddy (
Bold Ruler), who also happens to be
Secretariat's daddy!
And for the record, I HATE watching rust grow on any my cars/trucks!
