GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 There are articles that were posted on the internet and facebook??? Well, Facebook is for dog pictures and the internet is for porn.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 Well, Facebook is for dog pictures and the internet is for porn. Can't expect everyone here to know about the backstory of "Nyquist the horse". They mentioned it every single game and intermission and pre-game leading up to the race. Of course, it was just a convenient tie-in since NBC was broadcasting the Derby and wanted to keep reminding hockey fans to tune it. It must have worked. I actually did watch just to see. The fact that it was right before a game had a lot to do with it, but I was curious. Blew my mind that they can do a 2+ hour pre-game show for a 2 minute race.

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Thinking about it some more, this guy must have lost a lot of races before he finally came to Nyquist. Yzerman, Howe and Sawchuk must have been crappy horses. Zetterberg and Datsyuk didn't pan out. If Nyquist had lost, the next horse would be named either Quincey or Mowers.

RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Two horses die during first races at Preakness Stakes. Really wet muddy track, wonder if that was a factor but once in a while you hear about horses dying in a race. Sad. From ABC News http://abcnews.go.com/US/preakness-day-horses-die-jockey-injured-races/story?id=39278729 Two horses died and a jockey was injured at Pimlico Race Course during the first few races of a rainy Preakness Saturday in Baltimore. Racehorse Homeboykris collapsed while walking back to his barn after winning the first race on a dirt course at the Pimlico, according to Sal Sinatra, the president and general manager of the Maryland Jockey Club. The horse collapsed after his picture had been taken in the winner's circle. Later, racehorse Pramedya fractured her left cannon bone while racing on a turf course, according to Sinatra, and Pramedya’s Jockey, Daniel Centeno, fell and suffered a right clavicle fracture. Pramedya, 4, was euthanized on the track, according to The Associated Press. Edited May 21, 2016 by RedWingsRox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Just as the case of player Nyquist we have fans bandwagoning and then falling off the bandwagon after a disappointing performance from the horse Nyquist! As expected. Edited May 22, 2016 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
