Of all days to go down. I bet people are just freaking out. It was very active just before the Juvenile and WHOOSH! just like that, no forum and no racing on ESPN until the Michigan/Illinois game was done.

It's a busy day for racing sites. ;) I know this one gets bogged down a lot on BC day & Derby day.

Those of us that visit TBC as well as here and a few other sites are greatful for all the other sites right now, LOL.

Forum crashes have been unfortunately a TBC staple for years. Servers have been switched, things changed and still the forum crashes. *sigh*

Glad you guys are here!

I fully expected TBC to go down today. It always goes down on big racing days, or has the years I've been on it.

I'm kind of glad it is down in a way. I'd wind up reading a bunch of tripe probably and then agitated, I'd throw a sock at my cat, and miss her and knock over my water bottle.

It's been one of those days.

My feelings exactly. In fact, I stayed away last night before I gave in and ranted this morning. It wasn't a good choice though. I didn't feel any better and some people are so invested in whatever territory they staked out in the whole Zenyatta drama, that it all ends up the same yack.

It's popular because it is chock full of people who will tell you your opinion is wrong, is full of people who are conformation experts simply by looking at a picture and full of people who will fill five pages of "is the horse okay" before someone finally gets around to asking how the jockey is. It is like the pretty pony poster meets the high and mighty.

It may be that, but it's also been frequented in the past by Barbara Livingston, Barry Irwin, Steve Haskin, Wes Lanter, Jill Baffert to name a few.
