[quote=GenuineRisk]I don't know if there is, but sometime around Rags' Belmont I read a really interesting article about the physiological advantages of colts vs. fillies. I wish I could remember where I saw it and post the link, but I remember the thrust of the article being that there was no real advantage for colts at short distances (six furlongs and less) and at long ones (past a mile and a quarter) but that the males had an advantage for the middle distances, with the advantage peaking at a mile and a quarter.

I looked for the article, but no luck so far. However, I did find this, ahem, very "interesting" look at Rags' Belmont victory from a Biblical standpoint.

This is better than most explanations that have been trying to explain Mine That Bird's victory.

Is the infamous ROSSTABBERT behind this organization?

If not, he will be pissed if he sees this write up. Johnny Cash vs. Neil Young?

I would like to get these two to square off on Talking Horses. I would be out of a job.....but it might be worth it!

Rosstabert has unfortuneatly left the game of horse racing. He has been way too busy in his attempt to help the Crab Nebulans defend their planet from the recent attacks by The Androids of the Farthest Moon of Endor.
