I pay attention to horse racing starting the morning of one of the Triple Crown races and don’t pay attention again until the next one.

I do too. I enjoy the Triple Crown races. The Kentucky Derby is on my sports bucket list.
But yeah, it’s not like anyone around here ever started a “Other Sports” thread with a horse race.

Just an aside. That was the one “major” sporting endeavor I’d never recalled being talked about here
I just realized what happened at Brighton today.
I’ll be in my bunk.
With that point Wolves doubled their point total for the year and halved their deficit behind Palace for top of the relegation heap.

You called my name? November tests begin next weekend. Sadly, I think the Wallabies (Australia) are going to get run off the pitch give their current state.
Senior year of college, several of my fraternity brothers (Sigma Chi) drove out to the Derby. They had an elaborate plot to smuggle in alcohol which focused on taping ziploc bags of vodka to the bottom of coolers and various body parts. It actually worked and they had an amazing time on the infield.
Unfortunately, they drove my roommate Tinger’s ‘88 Camry. He hadn’t gotten an oil change in at least a year. The car seized up and died somewhere in West Virginia. The car was worth fuck all, so I think he only got a few bucks for the seats. Ended up renting a UHaul and throwing everyone in the back for the rest of drive. Still bummed I didn’t go with them.

At 2-1, into time added at the end of the game, Brighton had a 4 on 1 fast break. A bunch of toddlers should have been able to turn that into a goal. But…
The ball carrier gave the ball to the one defender, who triggered a break the other way from which Wolves scored their equalizer. And I’m spent.
Exactly who I was thinking of
Hopefully I plan better than that.
On a funny side note about sneaking liquor…my bro in law tells a funny story about trying to sneak a flask into a Rice football game. Somehow he had it in his hand or pocket or whatever (instead of his boot where it belongs) and fell right down to his feet as security was checking him. The security guard just rolled his eyes and said “come on, man”, and let him in. BIL said “I consider myself somewhat of a cool guy, but I never felt like a bigger dork in my life”
Oh man, that’s exactly what would happen to me.
The Astros are the only team that rivals my love for the game they play in Heaven.
Spurs have an exciting 17-year old making his first EPL start. “Oh good” said no Palace fan.
Palace, Arse-Liv, Colts-Texans, Mexico GP.
I bought the recliner for days like this.
I cannot stress the massivity of that win.
14 minutes of second-half stoppage time still wasn’t enough to pull out a draw for United.

They should’ve been over the horizon before halftime.
Mexico GP (watching on delay…thanks Texans), lap 1, turn 1 Verstappen runs Sainz off the track.
Like swallows returning to Capistrano.
Verstappen driving like a lunatic. He was passed by Sainz, next lap he was passed by Norris but ran Norris off the road again.
Norris tried to give the place back to Verstappen - having learned from last week - and Max ran him off the track again, Max bumping into Norris while both cars were off the track.
ETA: Verstappen (rightly) got a10-second penalty for both incidents, ie 20 seconds.
