When it comes to horse racing, I know next to nothing — other than that I’ve done remarkably well by betting in the Kentucky Derby based solely on whether I like a horse’s name. Well, by that standard, all of us fans of William F. Buckley — presumably meaning every one of you reading this website — have one stupendously obvious choice for Saturday’s race.
The rest of the field? I say it’s spinach, and I say to hell with it.
