Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Bummer.

It's BS that a horse that didn't run in either The Derby or The Preakness can run Belmont.  All three tracks being different, I don't know why a horse is allowed in one that hasn't run the other 2.

They're three different races.  It's no different than Tennis players playing in the French Open but not Wimbledon.
