The unselfish, hard-working human and equine stars of the Sport of Kings still treat fans like kings.

Looking back at Windfields Farm's 1982 Keeneland July Sale consignment which included Devil's Bag, Secreto, and a small, backward, and timid filly that needed a good friend and lots of time.

As the end-of-the-summer weather couldn't have been more perfect, and Overbrook was reaching the end of an era, I thought it appropriate to make some on-site observations of the historic operation.

I was training a weanling filly the other day and was struck by how she had shaped herself into a metaphor for racing. She will go sideways and backward, but, stubbornly to the point of frustration, never forward.

The Woodward will be shown on TVG and HRTV, networks known to hard-core fans of Thoroughbred racing, but it's doubtful their reach is enough to grab the general sports fans that may want to see how Rachel stacks up against her elders.
