Big Brown travels via UPS Ground?

In case you missed it!



Great thanks to Northgate Stables, Miscoe Meadow and Rocking Horse Farm for hosting their annual fabulous Belmont Stakes party at the Twin State horse show. The food was delicious and they drew a large appreciative crowd. Nicholas sends his compliments to the ribs chef!!!!!!

The remarkable thing I witnessed, after watching this race, was the collective casual reaction of the large group of very experienced horsemen at the party, who at the end of the race had the same quiet grin and a shrug of: "Well, that's horses!" Sometimes, that's just the way it goes. You play this game for the love of the animal and the joy of putting your heart into the best performance you can. It's definately about the journey not the destination!

It was on with gusto for the battle of the barns and the kids ramping up for the jog cart races: Julius Fairfield Caeser versus Pirates of the Carr-RMD-ibean!
