Preakness no-show

I’m really depressed. I missed the Preakness earlier today. It’s the first Triple Crown race I haven’t watched since I think 1997. I don’t know why I got into horseracing, but I found I love those two minutes when the horses are flying around the track. The majesty of the animals is almost unreal. I asked a couple of people to watch with me, and they couldn’t. Whether then watching it myself, as I usually do, I just went back to bed. I’m such a moron. I don’t even want to see who won. Barbaro was so impressive in the Derby that I assume he’ll wing. I pick Hemmingway’s Key to Place and Diabolical to Show, mostly because I like that word.
