   I’ve sobbed like a little girl just reading about Ruffian. She never trailed for a moment of any race. It’s otherworldly.

   The love affair people have with horses like her, Secretariat, an that I have with Curlin - that’s the reason I love this game. I love these horses. They’re my freakin’ heroes.

   As much as I love Curlin, it was so moving to see Rags to Riches win as the first filly in the Belmont in 100 years right there, within site of Ruffian’s grave, and around the same track that the great filly herself perished at.

   Here’s a couple good Ruffian videos I’m aware of:

   She was one horse I watched all the way from the start. She was a great horse. Did you click on that link? I bawl like a baby when I watch that video.

   then “find” on this page:

   “Apologies, but we were unable to find what you were looking for. Perhaps the search box will help.”

   see if it’s a coding issue

   Of course I clicked on it, buddy….and yes, I cried just watching it while sending it to you. The grave shot gets me every time. Like a punch right to the stomach.

   Yep, me too.

   Thanks, diss. I think I’ve figured out what it is. Staff will have to fix this one. The Most Recently Updated, she be broken.

   I like “Sexytariat.” If raincoaster ever gets a fatwa against her, I may switch to that name instead.

   No, of course I won’t. I’d take out radical Islam single-handedly.

    I can’t seem to repeat the error you’re getting rain. I’m not using sandbox if that helps. or not.

    I was reading something about something about that - but not in a bad way. Not an error, but about removing the date. I’ll try to remember where it was and locate it.

    Of course, I’ve been up now for 24 hours so gosh knows what I’ll end up sending you. Struggling to stay awake - fighting it! :)

    ” I just updated my siteurl and home options in WordPress, and I shortened my permalink structure to remove the day, and it started magically redirecting all my old links to the new ones.”

    It was Matt’s blog - his new one. He was describing how he set it up. Here is the link >

    Well hopefully this isn’t broken for anyone else. I think he’s on a slightly different setup than we are. He’s da boss, ya know.

    Rain and Kstaff -
    I was just viewing in the tags for someone to teach me how to take photos, via the photography tag.

    and I stumbled on a blog of a horseperson taking photos of her own horses. Amazing photos IMO, not just your average joe.this is it > http://spottedhorsechick.wordpress.com/

    nice find, Diss - I left her a comment welcoming her to the community. Check out her one Appaloussa named “cosmo” witha gorgeous chestnut hue about 3-4 posts down. That’s a gorgeous horse!

    By the way, Rain and Diss - the two of you have been nominated for some blogger’s choice awards or something. I don’t know, some horse nut was babbling something incoherently about it over in the “wahoo” off-topic thread. :)

    I saw her a few days ago and left her a comment. Beautiful stuff, and Appies are gorgeous. Have you seen Bev Doolittle’s art?

    I have been? Ooooh, something for me to pimp out! Thanks for that!
