SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (June 16) -- And it's Bullwinkle by a nose — a really big nose — at Saratoga Race Course. A large moose wandered onto the grounds of the historic upstate New York racetrack where the likes of Man o' War and Secretariat have run. Police said the moose was first reported walking through the city's downtown business district shortly before 4 a.m. Monday.

Chanel, a white dachshund who held the Guinness world record for oldest dog, died Aug. 28 at age 21. Earlier this year, her owners said she was in good health, with the exception of sunglasses she had to wear for cataracts.

The animal was later spotted near the track, where it wandered into a parking area just inside the front entrance.
The moose attracted several dozen onlookers, who were kept away from the animal by police.
Police said a state wildlife officer from the Adirondacks later arrived to tranquilize the moose and remove it from the area.
The track opens its six-week season July 29.

it's a bitch, you got high hopes and big dreams and they tranquilize you before you can get to the starting gate to show your stuff... sounds like the writers guild.
