All hail the Queens.
Beholder over Songbird, by a fraction of a nose. They hit the wire together for a photo finish, and it came down to nothing more than a matter of whio had the head-bob at just the right time. If it had been any closer, it could have been a dead heat. Which would have ben awesome, because then neither would have to lose. >_> But both my girls, on ( Read more... ) -
Silent Stones
And I was watching, of course, when Rosetta reached 67P and released little Philae to settle gently down.
But it didn't happen like that, not exactly. Philae bounced when he landed - more than once - and when he actually did land, he landed wrong, so that his antenna was down and his solar panels not quite able to catch the sun. For almost two ( Read more... ) -

So apparently they've completely redone Pottermore. (I went back because there's a Patronus quiz now.)

Not right now. He'll be back for the summer, and probably better ( Read more... ) -

Wet over Pimlico. At Churchill, it poured before the Derby but cleared up by post time, but this is rain for an Ark, for the kind of track Pharoah would have loved. (That, from the way he ran at Santa Anita, Exaggerator loves.) Nyquist hasn't run on a truly sloppy track yet, but he HAS won at six different tracks at different lengths and on ( Read more... ) -
I will not be defeated. ~_~
Hey, so you know what ELSE I don't get out here?
NBC Sports. AKA the channel all the Derby undercard coverage is on, that's available nowhere else thanks to NBC's fucking exclusivity. We had to ask his parents for their satellite password so we could watch it online, since they do have it. ~_~ (Dish is starting continuing to piss me off - in ( Read more... ) -
Happy birthday, Barbaro.
You've been in the magazines this week - You're on the cover of Blood-Horse, in fact; an article on laminitis research and how far it's come in the years since they started the fund named after you. You were today's flashback to past winners on the Kentucky Derby Instagram ( Read more... )
