Horse Racing Here We Come

This site is set up in honor of the amazing sport of horse racing, where man and animal come together and thunder around the racetrack at high speeds, bumping each other and in rain, shine or snow, all in the quest of that magical wire.

We will be adding a lot more content in the weeks to come and especially with the Kentucky Derby (presented by Yum brands) in few weeks, it is going to be a fun time.

Meanwhile, watch this gem of a race by Afleet Alex in the Preakness of 2005. This race call is by a different announcer (not Tom Durkin). He follows AA way more closely and thereby gives a different perspective of the evolving race. It is odd that this one did not get as much coverage. Sadly, Afleet Alex did not get the best of rides in the Derby and could only finish a close third.
