Non-Horse Related, Gambling Article of the Day

Starting with the 2000 season going through Sunday, January 27, 2008, in over 22,000 lined college basketball games, favorites have covered 50.1% of the time, underdogs 49.9%.

More Breeding "Action"

I've been sitting on this video (for RSS-ers) for about a two weeks now. Just haven't been able to post it up.

As of Thursday, it has had over half-a-million hits and is adding about 2,000 more everyday.

So, now without further ado, I give you a primer lesson in breeding horses (semi-safe for work...)

A Breeding Mistake?

Here's a pretty good interview with author and horse-lover Jane Smiley that talks about her history as a horse devotee and experiences as a breeder.

I like Jane Smiley, but never did finish her book A Year at the Races: Reflections on Horses, Humans, Love, Money, and Luck

I tried hard to get through it, but it never really grabbed me. It sits along with other finished and yet-to-be-completed books in a box in my living room (waiting to be unpacked). I know I'll get back to it one day, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
