I normally have no interest whatsoever in thoroughbreds, but I do try to watch the derby every year. I hear through my sources that the crowd in the cheap seats can make the Talledega infield look tame. Funny how they never show that on television, of course with the FCC frowning on the showing of boobage it's not surprising.

Interesting note; one of the (female) announcers did say something about one the horses "pitching a fit" which is not an expression one hears on national television these days.

I was sort of rooting for Pollards Vision, so it's a distinct possiblity that's why he finished next-to-last....
