I was shocked today to see 2002 Kentucky Derby winner War Emblem making headlines. No it wasn’t for his dazzling performance on the track, but for his lack of performance off the track. To me this was old news, as it wasn’t a secret in the horse racing world that War Emblem was a bust failure in the breeding shed. Most people say he’s just to picky. I say he’s gay. Either way, it’s all irrelevant. He’s in Japan, so it’s a given that he’ll eventually be served up with a plate of sushi.
