POPSThe Belmont Stakes Is All About Big Brown So, which one will apply to Big Brown? Some feel it will be the latter, but most believe it will be a stroll in the park. If Casino Drive does wind up scratching due to a stone bruise suffered yesterday, there will be those who feel that Big Brown once again defeated inferior competition and still has not solidified his greatness. If Big Brown runs off and hides from his opponents, few people will be surprised. Unlike Smarty Jones, Funny Cide, and War Emblem, Big Brown has no flaws when it comes to running style and the ability to adapt to any pace scenario. He also is push-button, which separates him from the aforementioned three horses. Triple Crown winner in 1978. Affirmed is the most recent Triple Crown champion.

POPS Big Brown Won't Be Racing At Four Iavarone refused to confirm reports that Big Brown's deal with Three Chimneys was worth $50 million. The record stud price was $60 million for Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus in 2000 with Ashford Stud in Versailles, Ky. The next year, Three Chimneys brokered a $50-million deal for Point Given, winner of the 2001 Preakness, Belmont and Travers. In 2004, Smarty Jones ($39.4 million) also went to Three Chimneys after taking the Derby and Preakness.

POPSNo Evidence Found Eight Belles Was Injured During Derby The Jockey Club has formed a panel to examine the issues, and its members participated in a conference call Wednesday. Stuart Janney, a thoroughbred owner and breeder who will chair the committee, said breeding practices, track surfaces and medication are among the subjects to be discussed. "We're going to use this committee as a bully pulpit to be persuasive on certain matters, and go to other people in the industry and say, 'This is how we feel, how are you going to help us?'" Janney said.

POPSBeer has gone to the dogs "Imported from Holland, where it is called Kwispelbier - "tail-wagging beer" - it is being sold at £1.99 for a 33cl bottle. Made using a traditional brewing process, the drink contains malt barley extract. A spokesman for Pets at Home said: "While initially people may think of the drink as a novelty, it makes a delicious treat for a thirsty dog. "It also encourages drinking, which is good for the kidneys, and is a great source of vitamin B. "It means pets are even more a part of family life as they can enjoy a beer, too."

POPSThe Kentucky Derby Tragedy Third, we should ban the racing of 2- and 3-year-olds so popular on the U.S. track. In Europe, horses are typically raced later, when their "growth plates" (leg bones) are fully formed and they are less prone to injury. Greedy Americans don't want to spend the money to keep the horse "hanging around" (to wit, not earning money) until they are 4 or 5 years old, and so we race them before their legs are strong enough to handle injury. Many horses are forced to live 23-7 in their stalls, except for the hour or so per day when they are exercised. The human equivalent would be tying someone to his or her bed for 23 hours per day, only letting them out to run for an hour. Wouldn't you go crazy under those circumstances? I hope Eight Belles's death serves as something more than a one-day news story. I hope her sacrifice causes every fan of horse racing to stop patronizing the sport or betting on the mounts until major reforms take place.

POPSYou can't make this up I thought it was a joke when I first read it, but anything you could make up wouldn't be nearly as ironic as this.

POPS"The Run For The Roses"
Because the winner gets a blanket of 554 red roses after the race. Whether a horse would rather receive a more practical gift, like some oats or a lump of delicious sugar, is up for debate, but the garland has become a beloved tradition. The practice springs from Derby parties Louisville's socialites threw in the early days of the race. Each lady would receive a red rose at the parties, and when Churchill Downs' president Colonel Lewis Clark saw their popularity, he made the rose the race's official flower. According to the Derby's organizers, 1896 Derby winner Ben Brush received the first garland of roses, and in 1925 journalist Bill Corum coined the term "Run for the Roses." The first blanket of roses like the one used today was awarded to the victorious Burgoo King in 1932. The modern garland is topped with a "crown," a single upturned rose that signifies the struggle a winner must endure. Since 1996, each winner's garland has been immediately freeze-dried for posterity.

POPS Suffragettes: 90th anniversary of voting rights Emily Davison died after she stepped out in front of the King's horse at the Epsom Derby of 1913. Many of her fellow suffragettes were imprisoned and went on hunger strikes, during which they were restrained and forcibly fed (see Force-feeding) and had reached the height of their campaign by 1912. Political movement towards women's suffrage began during the war and in 1918, the UK Parliament passed the Representation of the People Act 1918 granting the vote to women over 30 who were: householders; the wives of householders; occupiers of property with an annual rent of £5; and graduates of British universities. The right to vote of American women was codified in the Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution in 1920. In 1928, women finally achieved suffrage on the same terms as men in the UK.
