The Monday after the Kentucky Derby, you’d think ABC would know which way horses run around an American racetrack—counter-clockwise—as you’ll see in the photo of Mine That Bird’s stunning triumph in the Run for the Roses.

Yup, they’re running clockwise.

    That’s okay. Once Obama manages to turn this country into France, I am sure he will order the direction that horses currently circle the racetracks of America to be reversed.

    After all, as the left is so fond of reminding us, the Europeans do EVERYTHING better than we do.

    There is a video game where a large screen shows horses racing and people can bet on the winner. It too has the horses going the wrong way.
