Memorial Day
Rain tried very hard to interfere with our Memorial Day, and succeeded to some degree, as we did not get any work in the yard done and I didn't get to play with the pony.

The Keeneland Bias rarely lets me down.
Woohoo! Informed Decision is one of my Keeneland girls. She ran a helluva race against Ventura in the Vinery Madison. Was she the first horse to win from off the pace today? Now let's see if Thorn Song can rebound from his horrible race a couple of weeks ago ( Read more... ) -
Kentucky Oaks
That was amazing. -
