Default let me get this straight

So it took 40 minutes to determine nothing happened. The horse I saw cut off half the field, really didn't?

Not knowing much about the rules of racing in France I would say they probably made the correct call or no call. He did cross over and cause a few to steady behind him but didn't look bad enough to warrant a DQ

I was there, so I won't pretend to have had the best vantage point, but did he actually cost any horses position? He certainly didn't cause the runner up and problems, so the best horse was left as the winner. What is the big deal?

England does it the best, by the way.

CJ he's in the alley,
With his pointy shoes and bells,
Speaking to some French Girls,
Who say they know me well.

Wait.. It's a cypher! Does this mean CJ's siding with Shakespeare in the Cup???

I feel 'stuck inside o' Mobile'... again.

I'll let you know when you have me on At the Races.

It has been a good year...Saratoga, The Curragh, Longchamps, and even a day at Monmouth!
