Presumably yesterday's most notable winner in the world of horse racing was either Barbaro (who won the Florida Derby, which means he'll be running in the Kentucky Derby with a perfect record) or Bandini (a 4-year-old son of Fusaichi Pegasus who won the Skip Away Handicap, one of the other big races yesterday at Gulfstream Park).
But I think I speak for many Moutaineers (even Barbaro fans) when I say that yesterday's win by West Virginia - a 5-year-old who beat the famed Funny Cide (among others) to win the Excelsior Breeders' Cup Handicap - brought a smile to my face.
