The Kentucky Derby reminded me of this video, and it’s real.

The Ultimate Photo Finish: Why "My Wife Knows Everything" Always Wins

There are moments in sports history engineered by sheer athletic brilliance, and then there are moments orchestrated by pure, unadulterated cosmic comedy. As someone who helped my father bet on horses in the 90s simply by the coolness of the name on the Dividendazo run sheet, I am acutely aware of how rare true serendipity is. You cannot write a script better than reality when the stars align—or…

Racing Beat: July 29

Bridgejumpers unite! Someone bet $200k on a horse to show at Canterbury Park (the total card's handle that day was $146,000 to give you an idea) to make $10k off that bet. Cha-ching!

I feel like it would be an awesome idea to see horses/jockeys dress up like past legends. I don't know how they would exhibit this to the public, but it would be a cool publicity stunt. I'd fangirl over some Man o' War nostalgia.

Teen Pauline made me excited to see the future Tapit-Zenyatta foal a whole lot more than I already did.

YEAH COIL!!! LET'S BRING HIM BACK TO THE TOP!

The two-year-old fillies are officially making a bigger splash thus far than the boys. Bob Baffert trainee Maker or Breaker (an Empire Maker daughter) ran down her stablemate while breaking her maiden, running one of the fastest final 1/8s in the country!

The only reason Ramon Dominguez managed to get 6 wins at Saratoga in one day was because Johnny V was absent. I don't think that'll happen again!

HOLD THE PHONE! I thought Belmont was confirmed for the 2013 Breeders' Cup... why are we still discussing the location?! Put it there so I can actually go!

So You Think [IRE] and Black Caviar should get married...

Best pre-Travers prep race? I missed watching the Haskell (I WOULD HAVE HAD THAT EXACTA!) but as of right now I'm leaning on Street Life to hash it out with Bodemeister.

I was pronouncing Dullahan correctly for months before getting confused watching the Blue Grass Stakes (II) where it was pronounced "DOOL-la-han." UGH.

I would go off on a tangent right now about how much I dislike Taco's registered name (Jess's Dream), but I think Afleetalexandra already wrote it down for me. I pray to God "Bernyatta" isn't next #killme

I'm hopeful that Winter Memories will make it to the Breeders' Cup this year. Or at least finishes the year off sans injury... I am so wary of this happening to my favorites.

Tweet o' the Week is from the Triple Crown's race caller Larry Collmus!

Even if you aren't a horse racing fan, this video, and the next one I post by the same commentator, is hilarious!
