Why do horses me cry? What is wrong with me? Atleast I watched Barbaro, but now I'm tearing up over a horse thats been dead for 60+ years?
There's some serious anthropomorphism at play here.
Sixty-five years ago this week was the first and last start by Air Lift, full brother of Assault, in the sixth at Jamaica, a race made immortal in W.C. Heinz's Death of a Racehorse. Joey Kulkin headed out to the site of the track to retrace Air Lift's steps—and the ones he didn't get to take.
Whose douchiness will reign supreme?!
Find out tonight on Iron Douche America.
Wow, it's really cool to see how much we can learn from historical artifacts. This appears to have spawned two famous literary works.
W.C. Heinz’s “Death of a Racehorse” owes none of its fame to nostalgia. Written in one hour, in one draft, on a…
This is fascinating, in a nerdy, obsessive, follows-baseball-to-the-detriment-of-a-social-life kind of way (which is…
I can't believe it was only the very last comment that finally mentioned the fact that the review, not once but TWICE, referred to the troops as 'boys' only. I mean, the badass Major in the climactic scene with the locals was even a woman. Not cool, Mr. Rabin.

That is a very applicable observation for people in a war zone where everybody on the other side looks like "augggh!"
The punchline was in Afghanistan, the locals were the lion.
I really hate that type of music but I must say, that singer really got me by the balls with that song. That's talent.
I like your writing most of the time Nabin but did you really HAVE to point out how you, intellectual that you are, just couldn't get into the naked sentiment of the country singer? We get it, you are very smart and not at all maudlin or patriotic. Sometimes I feel you read this show in a very shallow way and miss…
What I love most about this show are the truly great moments where scenes just breathe. A perfect example being when the singer played an entire song in tribute to POW's and MIA soldiers. They weren't worried about what the audience was thinking, or when the next laugh was coming. They didn't truncate one second of…
