Safety pins and the Triple Crown

High-scoring words of the night:

GLANCES (163 points) - against Jenny H. [2W, 5W, hook off WO to make WOE, hook off MOC for a plural]
JOINTS (144 points) - against Nancy K. [two 3W]


Trivia fact for Sunday, June 13: What racehorse, considered a lock to win the Triple Crown, ended up coming in third in the Belmont Stakes after stepping on a safety pin? Spectacular Bid, in 1979. The safety pin had fallen off a bandage on his foot.
