Everybody's doing it!

How's this for "cute"?

Seems that baby pictures are "in" this spring :-)  So - I'll join the craze, feeling lucky to be the chosen one; to take some photos of the new babies on Dean's farm!  Cute is what grabs readers - I know it grabs me :-)
These baby Thoroughbreds are the up & coming winners at the track!  Their dams are race winning mares!  One of them - I've know since she was a foal!  I had faith her & she didn't disappoint me.  I know nothing about how to bet, but even with limited experience at the betting window - I won a couple hundred - & No!  I won't share her name :-)

"Like your hat Polito?"

Now I have to get these photos & others over to their owner so he can brag about them too :-)

Day at the Races!

Snowbound Marquita into the home stretch!

It was a perfect day to go to the Races!  Sunshine, mid-70's, blue skies, those fluffy white clouds I love - & a light breeze!  Butch & I took Dean up on his offer to enjoy an afternoon at the track.  He had two horses running in the 8th race.  Marquita led all the way to the homestretch, when she faded & took second.   No complaints!

So much fun watching such beautiful, fit animals do what they love to do!  Run!

Dean's horse heads to the track!

The last race of the day was the most thrilling.  With a big dark bay colt fighting every inch of the way to win!  He had his neck stretched out - ears pinned back & that I'm going to win it No Matter What look as he crossed the wire - first by a nose!  Very impressive performance by a 2-year old!

The Winner!

We finished up the day with Greek style pizza & salad!
