TV Ad Scares Neddy

Well, Chick-Fil-A does chicken well... enough so that I occasionally eat there, when I can get to one. (The closest is 16 miles away.) I have loved their cow commercials all along - and I really get a kick out of the new one: "Sound the alarm!" Cows are everywhere in this ad, and they are all mooing like mad. - And, it scares Neddy so badly he hides in the bathroom behind the door and under the shower curtain when it runs. Which is pretty sad, because they run a lot of Chik-Fil-A commercials during the SEC football games.... The crowd at the CU Homecoming game has been roaring loudly - CU was ahead until there were 10 minutes left in the fourth; now, with 2 minutes to play, they are down by 3. The Buffs deserve a win... But, they didn't get one.

The connections of Workforce, the winner of this year's Epsom Derby and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, are planning on running at Churchill Downs in the Breeders Cup Turf on Saturday, 6 November. The race has a purse of $2 million and is run at 1.5 miles. That should spice things up a bit. - Also, Zenyatta worked a very nice 7 furlongs yesterday, in preparation for racing against the boys in the $5 million Breeders Cup Classic. Facing her will be Paddy O'Prado, First Dude, Gitano Hernando (an English-bred colt), Espoir City (a Japanese-bred colt), and several others. I have been searching in vain for the name of Rachel Alexandra, but she is not currently nominated for any of the Breeders Cup races. - And, Carolyn, you might want to take a look at the bay Irish colt, Paco Boy. He'll be running in the Mile Turf, with a post time of 4:40 (EDT).
