Preakness' Crazy Finish!
I know from asking you guys about horse racing and the Kentucky Derby in particular, that it isn't too popular with the worldwide Jam fans on this site. But there was a crazy finish in the Preakness Stakes on Saturday. The Preakness is the followup race to the Kentucky Derby in the Triple Crown races for the best 3 year old horses. Afleet Alex, won the race as the betting favorite (eventhough Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo was running and had beat him), but it was the way Afleet Alex won. If you're willing to watch the video replay of it, here's the link. It's pretty crazy going into the final turn for home. If you're unwilling to watch the video, ok, but click the link anyway quick, because there's a pic that might explain what happened a little more, but it's better if you see how it plays out on video. I'll just say the horse that appears to be falling is Afleet Alex.

lol no one cares. I'll just stick to Jamiroqaui topics with y'all. Isn't that what we're all here for anyway?

i don't think its got to do that it's a non-JMQ topic, its just that no-one really follows horse racing that much anymore.
sorry. |
