Hope and Miracles!

There was no miracle the night Stay Alert ran--which means we still have a "Seeing the Pope" miracle available to use on Dunraven Pass! Stay Alert is being given away, along with Cape Town Bay. That means all our eggs are in the Dunraven Pass basket. Yes, that is our two year old in layup recovering from a broken leg. But there's hope--to read all about it, get news about my upcoming book, "ROSE COLORED HORSES -- A Year in the Life of a Crazed Horsewoman" and see a picture of Dunraven Pass, go to www.equinebusiness.biz.

Stay Alert--Maybe?

Stay Alert is running tonight; we wouldn't call what Cape Town Bay did on Saturday night running. He's being given away; Stay Alert should take note. While seeing the Pope didn't appear to help The Bay, perhaps it will matter with Stay Alert--or better yet--help Dunraven Pass's broken leg stay strong so that he will actually run someday. At least there is no shortage of things to hope--or pray--for in the horse world. As we noted while watching Secretariat yesterday, nothing is easy--and no pain, no gain. The good news is, I've learned how to attach pictures to the website. So, if you want to see a winning shot of Stay Alert, go to www.equinebusiness.biz. It is nice to be reminded about what it looks like to win!

Waiting on Miracles--Part Two

In my last post--almost a month ago--I inquired about whether miracles involving really slow horses happened since both Stay Alert and Cape Town Bay were running over the same weekend. Instead of miracously hitting the board, they matched their performances from the only other weekend they ran together--their first races--where they came in second last and last, respectively. They are running again--one on Saturday night, one sometime next week. Since each of their last races, I've been to Rome, I've seen the Pope--up close and at one of the many churches I saw, I'm pretty sure I prayed that our horses would bring joy to us, their owners, and to you, their fans. Will it matter? We'll know soon enough! For full details, go to www.equinebusiness.biz under the News Tab.
