i think lance won ALL his tour de France's AFTER his cancer. he dropped out in 96 with complications from it. Remember, the big heart gene is in horses too, from eclipse, secretariat had it too, as well as one of the largest horse hearts ever measured, if not the biggest. evander holyfield has a big heart. not convinced it is a gene that is desirable for the general population. Rules, this country was founded on then enforcment of contracts.
went to the santa clara county fair cattle show yesterday. talk about gossip. several kids were complaining about the winners in the tight pants winning. couldn't believe it, even at a small show that there was only enough cattle to judge in 3 hours, and had to get neighboring counties to participate.
interesting that there are rules other people can't touch a kids cattle in 4H. yet, a few of the kids were not clipping their cattle, some were getting yelled at while they were in the ring, including the showmanship winner, who did not appear to be happy. the kids that were participating were taking their vocation seriously, but need more exposure, ie the state fair or other jackpot shows, if just attending to watch and ask questions. if have a few pictures, and i'll post them on another thread. judge made EVERY animal in showmanship move by twisting their tail, and switched showman in the advanced class for everyone, and commented every one of them brushed their animal after he felt the animal for cover including the cod and flank and commented that all of them combed their animal before they got them set and commented that he already knew what they felt like and that it was more important to get them set, then brush.
