As for the irish: tell him that you're from immigration. He'll simmer down, trust me.
I thought that Pop Rocks was the winner about 1 lenght, but Delta Blues did not give in one inch. I also would liked one fewer of the sprints. But heck, you really cant be picky with that day of racing.

I do have a question--why do they hold that event in the middle of the week and not on the weekend?
