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:

In Memory of Turf Champion, George Washington


George Washington was euthanized at the Breeder's Cup Classic track at Monmouth, NJ on October 27, 2007. He was only 4 years old. He was bred in the United States and one of Roy and Gretchen Jackson's horses before he was sold at a young age. He was trained and raced on the turf in England and Europe. Very famous and much loved. He was known as "Gorgeous George" and he was. This is one of the last photographs of him before his tragic breakdown during the last 1/16 mile of the race. RIP, George; run free in equine heaven with Barbaro
