Horse of the Year means 2026. Sovereignty's Derby, Belmont, etc. do not count. So, if a horse only has to win the Whitney & BC Classic to be HOY, then we owe White Abarrio an Eclipse.

I'm old enough to remember critics beating up Secretariat because he retired as a 3 year old (12 starts + TC) & never had to carry heavy weights. Now, we award HOY to horses with 4 starts & a 50% win average for the year. *sigh*

Even if Sovereignty wins the BC Classic, he'd only be 2 for 4 this year. Just saying.

Forget prep races -let's just have a Kentucky Derby of first time starters! Awesome handicapping challenge! While we're at it, let's change the distance to 6F!

Went to an event today to support local women authors. Every single book was romance. As if the single purpose for women is to find " their one true love." No goals, no dreams,just find a man. Number of books bought = 0.

Dear authors writing a novel from multiple points of view - make sure that all the characters are at least interesting. Just read a novel from a big publisher & found myself skipping chapters from the lame characters' POV.

The Triple Crown is racing's most recognizable event & CDIs lame bonus series can never replace it. The Preakness, Haskell, and Pa Derby are much more notable races than the Matt Winn & whatever new CDI race concoctes.

WOMEN β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή I just learned you can remove your fallopian tubes, keep your ovaries, often permanently prevent pregnancy, cut your ovarian cancer risk by up to 65–80%, and not be thrown into early menopause. This feels like information way more people should know. It is called a salpingectomy. Pass it on.

Just DNF'd another women's fiction book because it had my biggest pet peeve of the genre- cancer. Most overused trope of this WF. How about focusing on women's strengths instead of their illnesses instead?

Hey @deesnider, if you had your choice of metal ladies to record a duet with, who would you choose? Lita? Doro? Lee Aaron? Lzzy Hale?

Just once I'd like to see a show/movie where an unplanned pregnancy has realistic outcomes. The kid's a brat, her parents disown her, kid's father wants nothing to do with the kid, or she actually gets an abortion.

So sick of seeing EVERY show have her family supporting her, the kid is a genius, the father finds out & instantly falls in love with his kid, etc.

What's your earliest horse racing memory? Mine is watching the 1973 Belmont and asking my mom, "Where are the other horses?"
