What are the odds?
Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each."

No, but here is an article which should be read to complete one's horse sense, or at least read the final sentence
| Quote: | | One day, all the cogs will align and a horse will follow Affirmed onto the Triple Crown’s roll of honour, but if just one is awry on Saturday, it will not be American Pharaoh, and anyone at Belmont who has backed the winner would probably be well advised to pipe down. |

(should have noted this before)
can't know the odds until they're displayed on the tote board, and they change constantly right up until post time. some wait until the last minute to post their bets.

 votes being entered after the race is over
The race
compare and contrast track conditions with the Preakness. How do they manage not to stumble on a track like that?

some horses are mudders. some aren't.
my old man had one: "Easter Jack". only time he paid money was when the track was soup.
those two above - not even a contest - Belmont race he went over the line by 4 or 5 lengths?!?!?!
and did pretty much the same at Preakness.?!?!?! in the mud?!?!?!
that is one damn fast horse leavin' the rest of the field behind like that.

And the common expression that has been used to describe his gate has been "glide" which is exactly what I thought when watching the race before I read the description. A beautiful thing to watch for sure.

the horse looks like Jose Canseco...in his hey day of shooting 'roids.
Since I have no expectations of forgiveness, I don't do it in the first place. That loop hole needs to be closed to everyone.
