Lucky Charms Mascot Wins 3rd Derby

He entertained us for years in those silly commercials for that sugar based cereal now Calvin Borel has strung together three Kentucky Derby wins. What a life! (Ok cheap joke, but man thank goodness for horse racing or all the "little people" that's the PC name for them b/c they don't want to be called midgets anymore. Anyway, if it wasn't for horse racing they would have to settle for Reality TV or those stupid "Austin Powers" movies unless of course they had a remake of the "Wizard of Oz.") I have to admit I thought with a name like Super Saver, the horse was owned by the people from Wal-Mart, but the Kentucky Derby is hardly the Wal-Mart crowd. Well at least the part they show us on TV. No it is rich people with woman wearing stupid hats and getting stupid drunk. The Wal-Mart crowd hangs at the infield of the Preakness in Bal-more drinking Natty Bo's.

Speaking of acting drunk, what about Calvin Borel? I mean good thing he is in a sport (use that term loosely) that allows obnoxious celebration without penalty. I mean this guy would make Deion Sanders and Chad Ochocinco blush with all his post race antics. Roger Goodell would suspend him for the season if he was in the NFL. The NBA would triple technical him, MLB pitchers would throw at him all the time for showing them up, and in the NHL they would just call him "Ovie." I mean you would think after winning two already you would understand the phrase, "Act like you've been there." Also, was it me or was he degrading the woman who interviewed him after the race? How many times can you say baby, honey, sweety and "make me a turkey pot pie bitch", and not get called out?

If anyone should have been over celebrating it should have been the guy (Glen Fullerton of Houston, TX) who won the dream bet. I mean the chance to throw $100,000 grand on one horse and the best part is you are betting with someone else's money. Well CNBC money and Churchill Downs to be exact. (I was shocked to learn CNBC actually made profit. I mean no one watches the "lefty talk shows" right? They only like the angry "righty talk shows" oh wait...even worse CNBC is the channel you tune that tells you that your retirement fund has been drained and Goldman Sachs are a bunch of thieves, my bad. Is that the channel where they used to show the dead guy on radio Don Imus, sorry not dead just looks it) So this Fullerton guy bet on Borel and Super Saver and boy did they come through for him by and paid $900,000. Can you imagine $900,000 for one race! Wow what a life changer and this guy says he won't spend it all in one place. However, for those of you watching we all know where he should spend it. On a new toupee or buy hair club for men or perhaps a DC favorite Mr. Ray's hair weave. Anything is better than the dead animal he wore on his head Saturday, although it may be his lucky charm like a rabbit's foot.  Not that it matters now that he has $900,000 in his bank account because the ladies will over look the toupee for $$$. Just ask Donald Trump!
