If you've been holding out hope that Teddy will finally win the big one during a Presidents Race at Nationals Park (and by "big one," I mean just one; any one, really), save it.
Teddy's losing streak is about to reach historic heights never before seen in professional sports. According to NBC News, a loss in the Presidents Race Saturday will be the 26th President's 500th consecutive defeat in the "main event."

"The losses haven't been graceful, either," Michael Smerconish said while filling in for Chris Matthews on "Hardball" Friday. "He's been tripped; he's been attacked; he's gotten distracted by popsicles. The one time he crossed the finish line before the others, Teddy was disqualified for shoving someone dressed like a cat. So what if the 500th time turns out to be the charm?"
Smerconish goes on to quote The Washington Post, which remarked that a win wouldn't change Teddy because, simply, "he couldn't possibly have a bigger head."
For the love of trust busting, end it now.
