British General Howe preferred whoring in NYC to dragging his ass up the Hudson to help poor Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne, who then lost the Battle of Saratoga.   

  

I had a bundle on a can't-miss nag at Saratoga one time. She went off at 6/2/&even. She lost that battle too.

Absolutely should be at Michie Stadium instead of that Godawful corporate hellhole next to a shitty mall. The West Point campus, the museum, and the views high above the Hudson River* FROM the stadium are insane!!!

 

* Fun Fact. The reason West Point is where it is is because it is situated at a big bend in the Hudson River that forced British ships to slow down, making them easier target for cannon high on the hills of the fort. And just for good measure, they installed a FUCKING GIANT CHAIN ACROSS THE RIVER to stop the ships. Pretty impressive, except that it was unneeded, because asshole Surly-lover British General Howe preferred whoring in NYC to dragging his ass up the Hudson to help poor Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne, who then lost the Battle of Saratoga.   

  

The Cochem Castle, located in the Rhineland-Palatinate state of Germany, installed a chain across the Moselle River as a means of collecting tolls from passing ships.
