  • Roses for a Derby Date

    I stumbled upon her by accident one late evening while watching and looking for horses. She was everything you want in a girl, smart, attractive, articulate and polite.  How can you pass up a spokes-model?  So I took her on a date.We talked a whole lot about the Kentucky Derby and the Triple Crown, because I honestly had a lot of ...

  • The Kentucky Derby Likes March Madness

    March Madness always grips me each year.  As a sports fan, the idea of teams working hard to peak at the prime of the season is awesome. The training, endurance, and camaraderie must fuse into one body, one mind.  The competition is tough and challenging. This competition is what is fun; seeing teams play their best against other teams ...

  • Jedi Powers

    Jedi Code entered the victory circle on Oct. 31st, 2007.  Churchill Downs felt good under his hoofs that day and race 7 was as sweet as can be.  He stalked the pack and won with a 3 1/2 widening lengths.

  • A Jedi Enters Keeneland

    I cannot tell you the last time I had been to the Keeneland racetrack, or if I ever had been inside the track.  So this was a big event for me, to run around at the track, actually knowing what was going on and what I was doing.  Observing Biancone walking around, after laying out so many stories about him and so many more faces and ...

  • Jedi Code.

     Jedi Code.  The name captured me at the first mention.  I am a huge fan of Star Wars and have thoroughly investigated the many horses who have related names, but that is another story.  Jedi Code and I have a rich history and I have many stories to tell about him.    Jedi Code is by Empire Maker out of the ...

  • Origins

     The first two weeks are still a blur.  I remember having to repeat and learn all of these new terms being thrown my way.  What is the difference between a yearling and a weanling?  How in the world do you have the same dad and not be related?  Why do people name horses after panties?  I don't know, but hey, I have ...
