Wow! I did almost as well as my horse's cousin in the Kentucky
Derby! Bwana Bull wasn't so hot (14th or so out of 20 horses,) and
neither was my picking ability. Technically Reason is related to half
of the starting field in the Derby through his paternal grandfather,
Mr Prospector, but he was related to Bwana Bull through Rea's maternal
grandfather, Hail to Reason, which was much more impressive to me,
since EVERYBODY seems to have bred to Mr. Prospector!!!

Reason to Shout to my heart's content!!! ;-))

The last lap was good with lots of passing but the pregame show was way too
long.

Hey, I am a horse person and even I fast-forwarded through the pre-
race crap for the Derby (yup, The Horse Torturer even has to tape
horse races because the little (ok, so large!) darlings (down to just
13 for now, from a high of 18 over the winter!) for whom I care think
they need to be fed twice a day!!!!)

And you have to love a horse that wants to pass others so much that he
drops back to second to last before making a phenomenal stretch
run!!!!!! Street Sense was awesome, but I also thought Hard Spun was
going to pull off the wire to wire thing!!

(Have a feeling Reason came from off the pace, because he gets all
"scootchy" when he hears someone coming up from behind him!!! That is
what caused the cracked rib last May!)

Reason to Shout must have internet access, because he is three-legged
lame from ripping off his left front shoe tearing around in his
pasture yesterday!!! Farrier is out straight these days, so could be
next week before THT can torture her OWN horse instead of one of the
school horses!!!!

Why do you want to torture noble horses and then brag about it on the
internet? Are you some sort of mean person?

Of course you silly boy!!! I am just mean and rotten to the core,
trust me! ;-)

But I posit the question: who is exactly being tortured here? I get
up 6 days a week at 4ish am to leave the house NO LATER than 5am to
feed the poor abused animals before I go to the real job as a Vet Tech
at a Veterinary Hospital. I wish I was AS tortured as HRH Reason to
Shout; heck, he works at most an hour at a time 2 or 3 days a month
because his personal handmaiden has to work to keep him in sugar cubes
and has little time to ride (aka, torture!) him!!! So, yes, I am
quite proud of my torturing and love to brag about it to all and
sundry! ;-)

Hey, we could really get off topic and talk about whether cats or dogs
are the smarter animal! Personally, I vote for cats, since you are
OWNED by a cat and never own one of them!!

(for 27 years this October, when I sat on one of the beasties for the
first time! Been torturer and torturee ever since! ;-))

Dogs are smarter. You never see the police force employing a mountain lion
but you often see them employing a Germand Sherherd Dog or some sort of
happy big yellow dog..

In the sake of decency your should find yourself a nicer moniker than
"torturer".

Nah, got dubbed that back in the old days of rasn, and I just stuck
with it. Kind of like the tongue-in-cheek feel to it!

Again, we could argue the smarter animal, but I will throw out the
argument most often used by the defender of the dog being the smarter
one: a dog will run into a burning building to save his/her master,
while the cat just gets the Hell out of there and looks for a new
ownee when the last one is toasted to a crisp. So, who do you
actually think is the smarter of the two? Cat wins hands down on that
one!!!
