Friday may or may not be Uncle Mo Decision Day, but regardless of what happens there (is it all a PR stunt? Who can say?), this year’s Kentucky Oaks should be a good one. If it rains, there are plenty of high Tomlinsons in the field, but only Holy Heavens has an actual win in […]

Rather than making things clearer, the recent major Kentucky Derby preps have, instead, continued to muddy the waters. However, I’ve begun to find this confusion more interesting of late, after a long winter of previously undiverting prep races – at least things are now in a constant state of surprise (although one could argue that […] For those of you who don’t know I blog about horse racing, yes, I do that too – and for those of you who don’t know I blog about craft beer, see the previous answer. It’s about time a story brought the two together.
