Let's see what the next day or two brings...
a peta spokes woman was on the mike tirico and scott van pelt yesterday afternoon. tirico and van pelt both admitted they don't know racing very well. at one point tirico said "you still haven't answered my question, i'll ask it a third time". van pelt chuckled. after the answer he chuckled louder. the question was in the line of, was EB whipped anymore than any horse in any other race?
the spokes woman came off sounding very poor.
