And she deserves it, too!
I´ll be watching the live stream!!
Wish I could be there! She is one fine horse.
i went to hollywood to try and beat the 1-9 favorite thinking there could be a good price if she didn't fire. then i saw the horse. she was like something out of wuthering heights; big and black and stamping at the ground. it looked like she should have had smoke blowing out of her nostrils. she didn't look like she wanted to beat the other horses, she looked like she wanted to kill them. she would have preferred that the race be held in the octagon. of course she killed the field. none of the other horses ever had a chance. it was like a movie set and you could tell who the star was and who the extras were. they were just there to fill in the background. there needs to be a match race.
