      Nicely done! I had very few stumbles.

        This puzzle was incredible fun, thanks! To be honest, I filled it out in a private browser first because I've been having issues with these larger puzzles. It took 13 minutes, but I got ALL of it—no cheating. :-) The 2:42 time here isn't true. I just copied the answers over, but I'm logged in, so that's what it shows. Looking forward to the Kentucky Derby this weekend!

          Goodness gracious...what honesty. Hah,hah. When i see fast times i'm amazed, cuz i dont think i could even read the clues as fast as some of the times are. I tried to get a few more race-related answers in, but no dice.
