It was nice to see a sport where the Professional Athletes are not "taking a knee"
The race was run well, with the best horse, Authentic, trained by Bob Baffert, winning the Roses.
Almost no fans at Churchill Downs in the Chinese Virus year. |
It was a shame that not all the BLM tomfoolery was outside the track. Necker Island was a black owned and trained horse entered in the Derby. Care had to be taken in pronouncing the horse's name. NBC made a big point of showcasing this horse, owners and trainer. The trainer, Chris Hartman, made a fool of himself by explicitly stating how he was in full support and sympathy with BLM. That was interesting to hear, because BLM called on them as black owners and trainer to boycott the "Whitey Derby".
NBC continued its own sycophancy by making a point of how some, very few, jockeys were wearing political protest arm bands.
In spite of the television reporting bias and the sad lack of fans, the race was a joy to watch for Thoroughbred enthusiasts.

Were Frank Lloyd Wright's Post War Designs Influenced By German Fortifications?
Wright's "Falling Water" has similarities to the German 'Blockhaus' in Normandy and the Guggenheim Museum is also reminiscent of the wartime fortifications.

76 YEARS AGO, D-DAY
A Lonely D-Day Remembrance - Isolated by the Chinese Virus
It is humiliating to see the political liars, rioters, looters, race pimps and anarchists, most of whom have no clue as to what D-Day was, protesting for mendacious demands. These cretins are trying to destroy this great country that the allies of D-Day fought for so bravely. They fought to stop exactly what is now happening in the streets of America now.Most sad and despicable.
