I watched it yesterday, which I have not done in years. There was a time years ago when I was just fascinated by anything to do with horses and watched quite a few of the bigger races. Unfortunately, it seemed like around that time there were a lot of mishaps in those races where horses broke their legs and had to be put down, which is particularly awful if you're a 13 year old horse nut. So I mostly gave up on racing and only watch a race very occasionally.
But yesterday's Derby was pretty cool. The same horse, War Emblem, led from start to finish, which last happened 14 years ago. He really pulled away at the end, too. I was fully expecting him to fade but he didn't.
I seriously doubt that anyone who reads this will know, but just in case--does anyone know if War Emblem is a descendant of the great Man O'War? With a name like that I would have thought it probable, but no one mentioned it and all I could find on the Internet was that the sire's name was Lord of War.
