I wouldn't say Cho was negligent or abusive with PP - the horse had been on a slow comeback trail since last year. He hadn't raced and had spent time in turnout after his prior injury. They appear to have done everything right - bad luck can strike even the most careful horsemen.
They are not much different - see arabianracing.org for all the deets!
I have a scattered collection of glasses from the 80's, 90's and 2000's, some I got at the Derby, some I received from friends & a mysterious paper deliveryman, and still others I found at Goodwills, antique shops & swap meets. It's about the chase - spying a dusty julep glass in a case full of jelly jars, for instance - and enjoying the artwork on them that is so unique to the eras they were made. Plus, it's got a horse on it!

Welcome, Matt! I have always enjoyed how NBC presents horse racing and am excited to see the preps in their capable hands once again.
I must agree about Skip Away - best grey horse of my lifetime :)
