This just in: Big Brown, diagnosed last week with a quarter-crack in his left front hoof, galloped nine furlongs today in preparation for his run at the Triple Crown in the June 7 Belmont Stakes.
I don't know if that's good or bad. I don't even know how much a "furlong" is, unless it's halfway between "fur" and "long." I'm guessing nine of them, therefore, must be a pretty "fur" piece.
OK, OK. I'll stop.
Though not furlong.
