Morning works:
and around the backside were some happenings including the Budweiser Clydesdales
and Calvin Borel hanging out in the morning after morning works
and the Clydes doing a "meet and greet" for the crowd before the races began
and then the 4th race was a race with the ladies legend with all the jockey's being retired and hall of famer women jocks:
and then we had some big races such as the Skipat Stakes where Lights Off Annie won
and finally was the feature race of the day which was the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes which had a couple horses go down, jockeys came off and Acting Happy winning and everyone came out of the race in fairly good order. I believe Julien Leparoux broke some teeth but no other broken bones...
Diva Delite completely flipped over on the track and really is a dark bay and not a gray. Based on what I saw, the horse seemed to be moving fairly well and hopefully is nothing more than body sore after falling yesterday.
I'm off to get to work now. Will hope to post when I can!
"A day at the races!!" Love horse names--there was a Gypsy Vanner stallion at the dressage show I went to this weekend, black and white and full of himself. His name was Double Stuff Oreo!
ReplyDeleteGlad everyone came out of the races okay--no broken bones, no broken horses. That's the one part of racing I dislike.
