Sorry to hear that. It always amazed me how people were so calm around storms. I would be hiding in the closet. Still scared to death when they are bad but Ive gotten better lol
Haha thats all Greek to me! Ive owned race horses for years but never bet, I figured racing them is enough of a gamble, some of our friends are crazy bettors, $5000 a race, its insane to me
When I was 8 my father was struck by lightning in our horse barn. He had polio as a child so had a metal brace on his leg. It killed him. I was standing next to him so I got picked up and thrown across the barn. I dont remember much but got up and new my dad was dead. A few of the horses died. My mom saved hers but its back was on fire. So needless to say Im still scared of lightning storms.
Thanks! Yeah its crazy stressful, all your time effort and money are tied up in a little 115 pound jockey. Im actually just happy when my horses come back healthy.
Thanks! Hes in the 5th race at Thistledowns today. I like Tiz the law, nice horse, plus I have a filly with the same breeding.
Everyone here has to wear a mask to get on the backside but no one does, its impossible to work in the heat and breathe. They threatened to shut down if people didnt start following the rules but so far we are still open. I think they just gave up lol.
I decided on Beautiful Black Sky for my weanling filly ( after Gen. Flynn poem) and still havent decided on my colt thinking of Geotus since hes orange ( chestnut) and flaxen ( blonde) mane and tail
