I am planning on going to our local track. They will have live racing and simulcast for the Derby. Should be a good day unless it rains then I will probably watch at home.

Haven't decided who I am rooting for yet though.

My horse beat Real Quiet...he really did...this is Grady!



Kent is a good friend of ours...I always cheer for him and Edgar (another great friend)! Wish we were in Kentucky now...but I'll see these guys in a few weeks if I make it up to the Preakness.

WOW! Really? That is an incredible thing to be able to say about one of your own. I ADORE Real Quiet...I think he is just gorgeous, and an amazing animal. Like I said...I've got a painting of him above my bed in our room. It was a re-creation of his Derby victory.

Thanks guys, Grady was not a distance horse, his best distance was 7/8ths...as we know the Derby, and the rest of the triple crown races are longer...

I'll have to download his chart one day, it's really amazing...he ran 104 times!

Grady also has his own fanclub...I am the President...LOL..

I recieved another email from a former owner (they bought him as a yearling) and have just tracked him to me...they are coming from Texas to visit him...pretty cool.

I'm just praying no one gets hurt this year. Racing scares me.
