CRAZY HORSE

It's been 37 years since a 3 yr old horse has won the Triple Crown ...talk about a very difficult journey for a sport...these animals are bred to be runners...and it's been a very risky business to put your $ in...there is a lot of cost to keep the horses going...and we are talking the cream of the crop... The Belmont ...the longest of the 3 races...and one of the main topics of the naysayers...is that these races are too close together...and it's too hard on the animals...maybe...I dunno...the one thing about this sport, is that the people in the biz, are very stubborn...and have very little change in their system... The last winner was Affirmed...ridden by Steve Cauthen....and there have been a many that have won the 1st 2 legs...and have been beaten in the 3rd...I think that American Pharaoh will get 'er done...the trainer is So Cal's own Bob Baffert...he has his hosses down here in Del Mar...the win odds will be low...like 3-5...I'll watch the board......

And there you go... NOW , this is a big thing...you can have the other "national" days...this one is of substance...like is there a more important occasion?...huh?... National Doughnut Day ...I'm sure you have your favorite...and I'm not saying to have 'em on a daily basis... mine is the creme filled one...vanilla creme...well, I do like the maple topped, too...wait, the chocolate glazed are dang good...shoot, I think I'll take a variety dozen.. . The latest news about the Bolts ...the team was always pulling the wool over the SD Mayor...that the team was just buying time to find a place to in fact, bolt...the Chargers are trying to find a way to keep their fans for the last season out at Qualcom...before they exit up north to Carson... my friends, for those of you who want to keep the faith going, fuggit about it...these owners want to leave... The Trib decided it was time to grade the Padres ...A-F...at the trimester...and with a 27-28 record, you can...

OK, there are a lot of you out there that do not like pro basketball...for a number of reasons...and prefer Seinfeld reruns in lieu...more about that later...or you like watching soccer on the pixels...c'mon...there is no more a boring sport...oops, too much Horse...however... The Finals are here... Golden State versus Cleveland ...I'm intrigued...the MVP, Stephen Curry, vs the King, LeBron James...hey, it doesn't get much better than this...my breakdown... The Warriors ...have been super all season...with a style of play that will be copied throughout the league...drive and dish...and take a boatload of threes...and the olden ploy of dropping the rock into the post up guy for a power move...is not in their scheme...so there is a lots of excitement in their arena...they play 10 guys...and have many options... The Cavs. ..LeBron did the unthinkable...smashed the system...went to where he wanted to go...and then the Cleveland GM found blokes to surround him...and bec...

It's one of them bewildering news days ...as to why are we reading, er printing, er, showing on the pixels...this stuff?...most of what is out there, starts with the negative...right?...or the bizarre ...and go from there...it's the reason that I like sports so much...it's real..and it just happened... And then...the hot topic was the Seattle Mariner's Manager ...who had a bit of a problem with the strike zone...lost it...his temper...and went ballistic ...and did what bosses use to do, just a few years back...wobbled onto the field, scream at the umpires...kick dirt all over the place...this time the bloke ran after all the "blue"...and this was the HOT TOPIC...now, all calls that are reviewable, are done so back in like NY...or somewhere...you still CAN"T question balls and strikes... So much for the sports being excluded from the bizarre... I'm sorry about this...I really don't get the extreme interest in Bruce Jenner's new identity ....

Breaking News...FIFA Prez resigns...duh... I suppose the word on the street and on Amtrak...was...the changing of the once a guy, Bruce Jenner...to Caitlyn Jenner...and the "dramatic" pictures of the new product...it's on the cover of Vanity Fair...and now out to the world...Marsh tried to get a copy of it in Santa Barbara...and they were already sold out...there you go...the K Fam moves on in their quest for domination of all the air waves, and in print... Sure, it's fascinating...but there is also breaking news that KK is pregnant again...egads, this is news?...it's covered everywhere...ie, the little scrolling bits on most every new source...and his (or hers) 2 girls...are all over...it's absolutely amazing the method of operation...mostly social media...and the country bought in...at least the providers did...you KNOW how I fell about this...yet, look what I lead with... Had a great time in SB...the kids were extremely accommodating...and the dental...
