I'm going with Oxbow simply for the black and gold. This must be how girls feel filling out an NCAA bracket :lol:

One of the horses has hot purple silk. We know who the JMU and UNI fans are pulling for.

Dumb question, but how do the horses know when to start racing? I don't see how opening a gate gets an animal running. Do they give them a shock or something?

Well, considering EVERY other horse was fading and Orb was just hitting stride about the 1 1/4 pole, we might have a shot...
