I feel like the news gets even worse every time I watch it. Tonight’s lead story: a purple hair woman spent 10 million bucks on a horse then cried and started talking about how the horse is AUSTRALIAN and will always be Australian

How is that news? What does that do other than piss off aussie battlers?

Hey… That’s my line!
I really don’t know what the logic is either though. I guess we’re just haters, because that is quite obviously national news!

The filly is the first surviving foal of Winx (champion race mare). Her first foal was a stillbirth, so this one is a bit of a miracle as mares that have raced a LOT often have trouble reproducing. And Winx raced a LOT. Still, this filly will be completely eclipsed if Winx produces a son. Male horses don’t have trouble reproducing even after a LOT of racing, and a son from her will be incredibly valuable as a sire, especially if such a son has a good racing career. Think 80 plus foals per year at $500,000 minimum stud fee per foal. Per year. For 20 plus years. Ignore the patriotism, look at the dollarydoos.

80 foals per year…! Jesus Christ I did not know that.
