Chemblog!

The biggest thoroughbred race of the year takes place half-a-world away in Saudi Arabia this Saturday. Forget about the Kentucky Derby (until next month!); the race tomorrow, broadcast on ABC at 2:30 PM, pits the two greatest horses in the world, 2006 Horse of the Year, "Invasor", against the undefeated, "Discreet Cat". Invasor is so remarkable that he has lost only once (to Discreet Cat, last March at the same track in Arabia) and, unlike most horses, he does not get winded after a long race. Discreet Cat is UNDEFEATED and has run some of the fastest races in thoroughbred racing history.
I think that Invasor is going to win but, either way, the race is going to be historic.
So, if you've never seen the "Sport of Kings", tomorrow's race will be a great introduction.
