It is amazing. At this point, I don’t think anyone could argue with the notion that he is one of the best trainers, if not the best trainer, of all time. Obviously, luck has something to do with it — you really never know what you’re going to get with horses — but Baffert is clearly among the elite.

Smooth as fucking silk with a stride that brings a tear.

Right? Smooth as fucking silk with a stride that brings a tear. The jockey said that he knew they’d win after rounding the first bend. After that, as you said, he just let him fly. Spectacular.

Makes you wonder what Sham’s legacy would’ve been if he’d only been a year older or younger.

If it makes you feel better, he’s probably just going to get wanked by some underpaid farmhand.

No one will ever top Big Red’s Triple Crown...ever. Bear in mind, he won the 1973 Belmont in 2:24 flat. No other horses has ever finished below 2:26. And he wasn’t trying to smash the record, he was 30 lengths in front. He could have lightly trotted to the finish and still had the record. In fact, I’ve read that he…

And Penny Chenery, the owner of the great Secretatiat, was there! She’s in her 90s and looks fantastic.

American Pharoah just owned them from start to finish. If he had gotten caught in the pack at the beginning I think that would have been his undoing. I’m 36 so like you said, first one in my lifetime. It was really fun to listen to the crowd get louder and louder. You don’t happen to have a crowd-only audio feed do…

Bob Baffert is going to make EVERYONE kiss his ring after this.

And royalty was in attendance.

I am rarely moved to comment here these days, and what you’ve described is probably why. Jus realized it, reading your comments.

Nope, sorry. I think the data in the article was really interesting, and could have been presented in a more distinct way. Using a fur vest as her beacon of assholishiness, when the vest is pedestrian enough that one of those sad poors could actually afford it? The thrift-store-quirky-girl is just as much of a uniform…

Repeat after me: NOT. EVERYTHING. IS. ABOUT. YOU. You were so busy being offended about your fucking vest that you didn’t hear the sonic boom as the author’s point flew right over your head. Did you aspire to get that vest? Do you feel self concious about your income? No? THEN THIS DOESN’T APPLY. Congratulate yourself…

Yes, the children are mean. Full of opinion, no facts. Lacking solid reading comprehension skills. Lots of hostility. Ugh. I hear you.

I thought you made your point with class and clarity, it's something I have been a little concerned about as more of my preferred writers have left the site

Don’t go!!!! We need your voice. Yes, it’s frustrating, but women like me (age 24) need to hear it. I did comment upstream that probably the reason women wear sweaters, boots and jeans is because this is the most comfortable and practical outfit ever, and we should be encouraging of that. It’s fantastic that you are a…

Okay. Because it seemed rather jarring to me. I skim many articles and often decide not to click because the language can be kinda crass- even for a Gawker property! But I really weirdly connected to this study about aspirational luxury, and it is not only a waste of creativity and talent, but a spiritual waste as…

I’m pretty sure I can safely say that details in this article were a tipping point and there’s a long buildup behind Mmmleftovers!’ response. So, no it’s not directly responding to the part of the article about income equality, it’s responding to the tone in which it was couched, and the increasing pattern of mainpage…
