Its about guys in fancy suits trying to make a quick buck.
Reasons why Lava Man, Tin Man and Funny Cide make my heart go pitter patter. Sorry, just cant get stoked for English Channel or Fleet Indian.

Not necessarily true Tim. Even in the 70's, the fields were small against all the big horses because of how good they were. But some of those horses were still better than a Wanderin Boy and the Dr. Pleasure's of the world....I really hope for the Bernie fans that he wins the BCC. I'm not rooting against him, but its put up or shut up.
