[CHOPTALK]

Wow

 

[HacheMan]

Thought this was a sports forum??

Oh forgot some people do consider horse racing a sport...

 

[packer2012]

Some people consider the horses as athletes. Don't they?

I'm out of horse racing but was this the last race needed to win the Triple Crown?

If so this is huge right? Last winner was in 1977?

Yep history made.

For some reason I thought today was the second race of the triple crown.

we're down here betting it instead of talking about it...

Yeah there are some people think that he had an easy path didnt face anybody good and so on and so on heard it at the track right after the race

Jeez hasn't been done in almost 40 years and they still can't give the horse credit, tough crowd

I went last year...missed it by a year..fml

like i said in another thread when the cover comes out, the SI athlete of the year will be a horse and rightfully so. did something no one has done in decades, its nothing short of throwing a no hitter in the deciding game of the world series. ill honestly be disappointed if its not AP, if the jock thats a joke, the horse ran better as the races went along. his derby was slow, his preakness was slow on speed figures but i thought he ran a race, today he just crushed, AP is the athlete of the year and rightfully so!

Don`t be surprised if he wins Athlete of the year.....Matter of fact.....I say yes.

I love this argument. In any sport. As if the team or horse that wins has a choice in who they play. Doesn't matter how you get you're name on the trophy....

What I wouldn't give to have been there. Had the volume cranked over stereo and crowd was in a frenzy...circumstances would not allow me there today though

it was a great scene at the Westgate.... even money on AP if you bet the prop of winning the Triple Crown instead of walking up to the window and betting the race
