I thought about scouring the Burning Wood archives as a safety precaution, just in case the old "horse themed" mix had been used once before. But then I decided to trust myself and let it run. I believe this is a first, and it's only happening because I didn't want to let Charlie C. down.
(It was his idea, though I admit, I like it.)
Here's to I'll Have Another and his quest for the Triple Crown.
I'm looking forward to the race on Saturday. It's brief as sporting events go, and yet, quite exciting. I just hope this colt is a fan of Patti Smith and Dion & The Belmonts.

Ideas are a dime a dozen -- you did the leg work, upload work whatever . . . "Short People" -- too much!
bonus race coverage: Union Rags - bred for the distance, pointed for this, derails history
I could never say "nay" to this fine feedbag. Thanks Sal. May the best nag win.

jeez Sal what about old Stewball?
Things I learned doing the NY Times Crossword Puzzle this week:
Mr. Ed homered off Sandy Koufax in a 1963 episode of the series.
This I have to see...

BW jinx strikes again! I'll have another scratched from Belmont . . . Also -- if you look closely, Mr. Ed was way out of the batter's box, so don't give me that longest home run by a talking horse nonsense!
and not to mention that for some reason that day Koufax was pitching batting practice. let's see what Ed could do with Sandy's curveball. what a ridiculous clip.
Sal: maybe a new weekend mix on tendonitis?
Looks like a great mix Sal. I would've added Horse and Crow by Peter Case, one of my favorite horse songs.
Looks like a list that's definitely worth a punt, Sal.
I applaud the great good taste you showed in not including that tired old nag Chestnut Mare on the list, but surely the omission of Nick 'Greatest Living Englishman' Lowe's Shting Shtang from the starting line up was something of an oversight?
Check out the fairly obscure "Horse Out In The Rain" by Moby Grape from their 1971 album "20 Granite Creek".
It's spooky and gorgeous.

No "Tennessee Stud" by Doc Watson? Chestnut Mare? Dylan's New Pony??
Whoops, I shouldn't be looking a gift horse in the mouth...
Nice mix as always Sal - looking forward to hearing!
