It's a windy Friday here in Virginia.......
Love some of the new arrivals at Lycette...
I'm pretty sure this is true....
There are two horse races worth watching on Saturday. From Dubai, the $12M Dubai World Cup runs with two American favorites, Mystic Guide and Jesus' Team. It sounds kind of cheap after the $20M Saudi Cup run earlier this year but this is still a major horse race. Post time is 12:50 pm EDT and these races can usually be found on Fox Sports or the NBC Sports Channel.
The Florida Derby often produces top Derby favorites and my top picks are Bob Baffert-trained Spielberg and a Tapit colt, Greatest Honour. Post time is 6:40 pm. Then next weekend the Bluegrass from Keeneland.
If you are looking for inspiration look no further than Jon Katz's Bedlam Journal. Did I mention also that he's an incredible writer? It's the small stuff folks, the simple things in life that make the difference as Katz routinely points out.
Love old horse show photos....
Could you imagine seeing this happen today at a horse show? Nope. We've dumbed it down so much (just like our K-12 education system). This was the famous horseman Dave Kelley at Fairfield in 1962. This fence is 6'9".
