The number of pre-race scratches is somehow always louder, but here's this: 157 horses started #BC26 races, and 157 horses walked back to their barns. Credit to immense level of dedication, attention to detail from horsemen & vets, and taking advantage of advances in technology.
This Breeders’ Cup may not have produced the wagering chaos some of us hope for headed into the event, however it featured some of the more fantastic performances in recent memory. Thoroughly satisfying results in terms of sport. 🏇
This story underscores the need for reliable scratch data. Well done KHRG. If you think the pendulum has swung too far toward safety, you need receipts, not vibes. https://t.co/3qfZW0olZo

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
@EJXD2 How would regulatory agencies have changed this? The affected parties continued to authorize Hawthorne to simulcast despite its mounting debts to them. Not sure how a regulatory body would have intervened.
I know @jmpaquette is a lightning rod around here on HRT. Let’s face it, she could turn into Tom Durkin and would still get shit on by many.
I’m not saying she’s everyone’s cup of tea (but I know there are some popular guys that I don’t care for), I’m not even saying you have to like her, but damn it, you better give her some respect. Show me another announcer this weekend that’s had to call over 250 horses through 26 races. She’s been on point both days and despite all the hate, always carries herself like the consummate professional.
So I’m gonna go out and give her the flowers she deserves cause nobody else will.
Great job today Jess, you nailed it.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Red Sox Hall of Famer and former manager Joe Morgan. He was a truly beloved fixture of the Red Sox, spending nearly two decades with the organization.
We send our love to the Morgan family.
