Irony

So, you are a racing fan and live near Baltimore. The Preakness/Black Eyed Susan weekend is here and you are ...... in New York? This is the misfortune that my brother Baloo is dealing with right now. He came up here for a family event and is missing all of the fun back home. We did spend Friday at Belmont, but it was no match for the experience that his drunk friends were having at Pimlico.


At least we got to see Funny Cide run, which is always a treat.

And, being that the Wagon Limit Stakes is one of the rare events run at a a mile-and-a-half, the starting gate was right in front of us.
