TEST

Keepin on trucking!

I have been doing fine on here today.

I've had no problem. but maybe I'm not doing the right stuff? Story of my life.

Virtual blood is on my hands!

But I think the massacre is over. I can post now.

so so many dead hamsters

Which leads to the question: did tsar kill them? Or were they sacrificed to keep all others on the site?

No, no....tomorrow is post time (last leg of the Triple-crown , the Belmont Stakes)

Thank you, Ragman, I'd forgotten about that. The Preakness was really something (I put the vid on the beautiful animals thread, ah, about two weeks ago).

No problem. I was being punny (about posts) to The Tsar.

Love to see this horse, American Pharaoh, win Triple Crown Saturday; however, I have no idea why I should care. I just like to see pretty talented horses run like the wind. The mighty rich will get mighty richer.

Me too, and American Pharaoh is almost as gorgeous as Chrome..

Do you know the time off hand? Well, I'll look it up, probably about 4 pm Belmont time, but I'd better check..

One of the fun things we did with the gallery/design studio back in north north, as I used to call it as it is very northern california, was shut the shop with a note on the door and go watch the derby at an old, and I do mean old, bar down the block. I think we had gin and tonics, don't remember that part. Eureka is not a crowded town, so we might have been in there (also a coffee bar/small shops/offices place) with, say, ten other people in that main rather beautiful room watching the big event. Excellent way to see a horse race. Beats Santa Anita, and I loved Santa Anita. I only bet once in maybe forty years; it's the horses I like.

Post Time: 6:50 p.m. ET
8 horses will be racing (2 got pulled)

Frosted and American Pharaoh (gates 5 and 6) are the odds-on faves - not that the horses know this.

Thanks..

give those horsies some carrots.

There has been considerable lag between posting and it appearing, mainly on the longer threads . I have also noticed a new post that cant be viewed, but is there after a while . Dont you worry about the Hamsters, they are breeding like Hamsters .
