The following excerpt was written during Preakness Horseracing Weekend – 5.15.2008. My piece written below was put together after reading an ESPN published article – The Triple Crown: Big Brown heavy favorite in Preakness, by Jay Privman.
Dear Jay,
I can obviously notice your enthusiasm towards horse racing, with another big-time event in the Preakness creeping around the corner. I’ve been to a Preakness race during my Bmore tenure, so I know how exciting the overall experience can be.
I am surprised, however, that a horse-lover such as me is not able to at least read a sincere mention of the late, Eight Belles. I understand how the competition does not end, and the gambling only picks-up; yet, for the sake of a writer such as yourself, and a hopeful animal-lover as well as horse-racing expert – I’m surprised in how quickly we shift every ounce of focus back on the competition.
“We all know that anything can happen. You can’t have any fear. It’s good for him to be tested again. If he’s going to be a Triple Crown winner, then make him work for it.” –Privman, 2008
Wow, Jay, let us know how you really feel about an animal trained to run for peeps to make them money! If I may quote your article, “Then make him work for it.” That’s right, Jay, no mercy – no prisoners!
I’m sure Jay, that if we were as so lucky to hear what animals would say, and if we had the power of listening to Eight Belles move those big-lips, than I’m quite sure that her beautiful face would’ve told you, “I Did Work For It.”
