There was some really good human interest stories in this one, and a city that felt like their boy was in the Big Show. A hero who had cracked his skull in competition. An owner in poor health... down on his luck... down to his last two racers. With that, a record crowd was announced today. They claimed the biggest crowd to see a sporting event in the entire state. I don't know what the guys in the other thread are talking about... they must have been at the wrong track or something ( :D ). I mean, the place was absolutely packed!!!
One racer got nervous at the start. He just couldn't get himself settled down. But then they grabbed his ears, pinched his nose and grabbed his butt... shoving him to the line. The camera quickly went to a tighter shot, so I think they might have grabbed him somewhere else too - but like an Iraqi prison guard... I didn't see any actual johnson grabbin' going on, ya understand.
ESPN carried the prelims for a good while - then they switched to some dorkie guys in helmets at an empty race track somewhere (wonder if that's where our fellow posters mistakenly went?). NBC picked it up and there was this announcer that sounded (I swear) like Bob Jenkins (but with a brain).
All of a sudden, they were off! My boy was behind, then ahead, then even, then he darted to the inside and started spanking butt! I think he somehow turned up his boost, cause he just walked away from the rest like they were IRL cars in an F1 race.
Jokes aside, this really was an exciting horse race! And there were some excellent human interest stories in the build up. I don't mean to whizz on anybody's good time going to Indy - just havin' a little fun. But with Smarty Jones now set to make history, look for Belmont to beat the devil out of the 500 with the viewing public... just how it is these days. You hear the stories about the horse, the jockey, the owner and his wife... you just HAVE to tune in!
