Check out TTA on MySpace!
My new favorite MySpace page is not my own, but that of the Texas Thoroughbred Association...
www.myspace.com/texasracing
This just cracks me up, and you have to see the video from YouTube about Assault with Jim McKay (at least I think it's Jim McKay) narrating.
Confucius would say that the surest way to judge a person is by the friends they keep, and if this is the case then Texas Racing is doing OK because it has some great MySpace friends.
My far-and-away favorite is Better Talk Now, winner of the 2004 Breeders' Cup Turf at Lone Star Park. Now, I've seen a few racehorses with MySpace pages, but only Better Talk Now counts Barack Obama, Lou Reed, Mark Danielewski (whoa, the horse reads experimental fiction!), and several attractive young women amongst his 213 friends. And under "Who I'd like to meet" one of his responses is "Jeannine Edwards." That's the coolest horse ever.
So what's up with Sam Houston Race Park's MySpace page? It conveniently fails to mention anything about horseracing, instead focusing entirely on new country music artists. No wonder they only have 35 friends!
It seems very likely the Sam Houston page was created by whatever concert promoter they use, based on the pictures that consist almost entirely of publicity shots of musicians from the Verizon Wireless Concert Series. Let's see, 18 images and not one of a racehorse, but four of Miranda Lambert, who is scheduled to play live on March 16.
