Quote from: Doorman;288099How many know that the expression poll position came from horse racing? The poll is the point on a horses head just behind the ears and if a horse is standing correctly, the highest point. Thus it became named for the horse drawn in the most favourable position for the start. :learn:

No, just a lot of time and money spent on horses.

That is to say stabling, feeding and shoeing them. Not betting on them.

I couldn't of said it any better myself:yahoo:. Some fantastic racing in all three races and some typical Rossi fun aswell. What other sport would see the world champion receiving a winning trophy with a pair of giant donkey ears on his head?:lmfao:
