Default Hank hates Jessica?

Interesting after Hank did not even acknowledge her yesterday she's reporting on her own. Wonder what happened??

Hank doesn't seem to understand where he is. The expression on his face when Kenny and Kurt Russell started talking about Dreamer really was hilarious. Maybe they were afraid Jessica would be accidentally injured by an arm spasm.

That dude Tessitore is a moron. You'd think after all this time, he'd know his stuff, but his errors are constant. Repeatedly saying Fabulous Strike's trainer is Todd Pletcher.. Jeez.

Denman: "Longshot leader Fatal Bullet".. 5-1 longshot?

Nice to hear Moss say before the race that Lute was too injured to win this. The idiocy never ends.

Good call on Lute, Steve!

Is he the guy who keeps saying Curlin is the horse of the world and if he wins, he's claimed the "title" of Best Horse of the Past 25 years? I can't deal with him anymore.

LOL the guy that looks like Sherlock Holmes?

I normally don't get PO'd at stuff like this, but I thought it was disgraceful for ESPN and ABC to come on air about 5 minutes before post time for the Female Sprint and the Marathon. The 9th at Aqueduct on a wintry day gets more talk pre-race than those two races did.

I still thought (even though I think racing should be run on dirt or turf, nothing in between) that this years BC was really excellent in terms of seeing excellent performances from very good horses. I guess you could say the outcome would be different for the Female Sprint on dirt, but Stardom Bound (although most here were trying to bet against her) was the best going into her race and obviously so was Zenyatta. Perhaps Sky Diva would have done better on dirt (love here, but I admittedly was rooting for SB), though.

Danzig, what did you think of Music Note's performance? Obviously Zenyatta won with ears pricked, but I was really happy. She handled the track fine - in fact, made her usual excellent move (too bad a monster was following her) and ran hard. Cocoa Beach also ran very well. I guess Proud Spell has the title locked up, although it might be a close vote. I hope MN runs next year, but I have serious doubts about the Sheikh. It's getting to the point that I can't root for any Indy under the Darley or Godolphin banner.

The best feature of the entire broadcast was the clock in the upper righthand corner telling you how much time until the horses went to the post. That way I could watch all of the football teams I bet lose before I turned back the the races to see all of the horses I bet lose too. Saved a lot of wasted time watching those sentimental stories about rich people and their horses.

on a different note

Hank just picked my horses for his exacta

I would have never ever made that bet if I knew he was going to pick 'em
well, he didn't pick Spring House in the exacta so I can still win because he can lose
