Big Brown Wins the Preakness

I am still sad over the loss of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby while I delighted in Big Brown's decisive win. After I watched the Florida Derby in early spring, I knew Big Brown would be a contender for the Triple Crown. His looks remind me of Barbaro. Well he did it again folks at the Preakness. I would love to see him win the Triple Crown. He's an awesome horse.

I have edited this caption since I decided to keep it on my blog as an early attempt in Thing 10 to post image generators. It was very frustrating until I got the hang of doing this. I have played around with re-sizing image generators, removing them if too big, moving them around my blog. Alas, I sort of like this one because of liking cats and butterflies. So I will leave it here. I am still learning as I go on.

Barbaro on You Tube

This is one of my favorite tributes to the beloved Barbaro, forever in my heart:

Secretariat's Belmont Race

Many horseracing fans hoped that Barbaro would win the Triple Crown and he was often compared to Secretariat, known fondly as Big Red. Secretariat's Belmont record still stands. If you love horses and have time to watch this, it's worth it. I am lucky enough to have witnessed this Triple Crown victory. I was a race fan even back then:

Barbaro's legacy

Fans of Barbaro continue his legacy by trying to save all horses from inhumane treatment, ending horse slaughter in the United States (S311) and contributing to research to find a cure for laminitis.

Do you enjoy riding? I moved here last year and haven't seen any real places to ride.
I saw that Rags was pulled up in her work - it seems that she is OK. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I hope Street Sense runs in the Haskell against Curlin, Hard Spun, and Any Given Saturday. I think this year's 3 year olds are great ... I love that they are all running against each other consistently! Makes it so much more interesting!
I hope one year to make it over to Saratoga - I hear it is beautiful!
