Dang, are the Kings going to blow a 3-0 series lead? Sure is looking possible.

Hard to believe a team that won 3 in a row wouldn't be able to get 1 out of the next 4, but I guess anything is possible.

Maybe the "June Swoon" is contagious?

Yabut, 2 of the wins came in OT. Those can easily go either way. Only the 3rd game did they dominate. I'm concerned.

Okay, we're an easy target. How is that Fresno team doing?

Hey Steve
Just talked to the camera guy that has been with" I'll have Another "for the last four weeks doing all the stories.
He said it was just a monetary decision.
The horse is hurt but could probably handle a shorter race.
But the mile and a half is out of the question.
If they raced him and he won he'd be worth a hundred million. But if they raced him and he broke down, his worth takes a big hit.
Since he is already worth millions they took the sure bet.
He also said the trainer is a good dude and wouldn't shove it up the associations behind.

I believe it. Too big of a money maker to take the risk.

Haven't got a clue. Don't watch hockey. Checked on the Fresno Falcons, and they state they are pumped up for the 2005-2006 season. Someone needs to update that...

I think they asked the horse:

Theoretical thought process in making the decision:

"Gosh my legs hurt. I suppose I could make it, but if I hurt myself, it's the needle and I'm too young to become shoes, jello and glue. I quit now, it's a lush, green field and taking care of the fillies 'til I'm shooting blanks.... I think have my answer."
