hehehe! I often have Life take me to not-so-far-reaching, often unbelievably dull places, but I always return to Blonde Champagne for your Derby recap. Hilarious, as always!

I opted not to watch it on NBC this year, as I simply could not take much more of the ‘ZOMG-Look-it’sapseudocelebattheDerby!’ stuff. I instead watched it on the net, where they show a whole two minutes of footage–the actual race!

BTW, did you watch the Preakness? What did you think?

The following people in this vicious column have been gratuitously insulted:

Lee Ann Rimes (“Lee Ann” does not rhyme)

Michael Jordan (Unemployed nuisance)

Corey Haim (Riveting broccoli expert; salad dressing consultant)

Barbie (On Lasix)

Eli Manning (Innocent bystander)

Bob Baffert (Pleasant & charming, when he feels like it)

Gary Stevens (Cinematic one-hit wonder)

Bob Costas (Exhibits occasional interest in racing, but not much)

Jay Leno (Staggering into career home stretch, running on fumes)

Some Horses (Dry track connoisseurs, a/k/a, quitters)

Red Ties (Rivets attention on otherwise worthless commentator)

NBC ($15M “content” TV studio currently bankrupting NYC News Division)

Journalists (Exploiting equine death for TV ratings)

Tom Hammond (Drag queen haircut)

Todd Pletcher (Triple Crown trainer, 1997-2015: 1-999)

Inane Commercial Endorsements (Geico Gecko picked Friesan Fire)

Sheiks (Annual February panic purchasers of the annual Arazi)

Donna Brothers (Exploiting human death for TV ratings)

Tom Hammond (“John Adams and his intrepid party crossed the Pyrenees in the snow, in December 1799 – just to get seats for the Breeders’ Cup!”)

Keep up the good work.

Can’t wait to copy and read this.

Why are there so few racing writers with “wit at will”?

If you have not seen this… definitely worth a look – some great photos from the racetrack that day.
