The greatest part of this photo is the tiniest detail that escaped me the first few times. The young kid sitting in the beach chair has his arm in a sling with a cast on it. You can tell he's sitting there thinking something like "I just had to punch that f-ing door last week . . . "Now I gotta spend my whole summer listening to these old bastards instead of hanging out with my friends. "I wonder if I can learn how to beat off with my left hand?"

Big Brown's quarter crack went deeper than they thought. I'm glad I didn't do the repair, Some Vet and his farrier buddy probably went looking for the exit early after that race. LOL

Judging by the photo, it looks like Donald Trump has taken up smoking again. And the fucking horse lost. Pay up.

Speaking of ponies, what happened to Big Brown?! Eat a moldy carrot or something?

Except that her dad drove the whole way behind her at walking speed with his hazards on, thus using more gas than would have been used with a normal trip to school. Or god forbid she could really have saved some gas and taken the bus with a bunch of other kids. Good idea, horrible execution.

A socially conscious Westport, CT high school student, who decided a good senior prank would be to ride her little sister's pony to school with a sign that said "SAVE GAS," was charged by police with breaching the peace. Good for her! I commend her bravery and environmentalism!!! Well done!
