Racing How'd You Do?
1

Horrible day. I also had a terrible parent moment because I was wondering HOW Carry the Day, who is always my very solid runner, could have bombed an easy allowance after a long break then realized she’s now 6. I remember when she was BORN. I feel so old. And in denial she may be retiring this year, haha.

Haha, I’m not as long in the game as many others but I don’t like when that Training Statistics page reminds me that it’s the 7th year now :wink: we’re so special really :stuck_out_tongue:

Meanwhile, my horses bombed.

Fifths:
[color=blue]Best In Show (3yo, Alley Cat) in a claiming race - I wasn’t lucky with Alley Cat’s offspring before and eventually got rid of them, but decided to try just once more. First, I thought I might at least get something finally :stuck_out_tongue: as there were a few others with more gold in their pedigrees. Secondly, I like his name and his damline. He looks pretty as a tall light brown boy and I hope he will get to win eventually.
