OT you know what else is stupid?
That all the news cares about wrt horse racing is whether the horse will win the triple crown.
Each race is worth watching and enjoying and each winning horse is worth praise, whether or not the same horse wins all three.
What difference does it make in my life or even the life of a horse-racing fan, an owner, a trainer, or anyone, (other than the owner etc. of the winning horse) if a horse wins the triple crown.
