Approximately 700 horses ran this past week at Churchill Downs. All of them returned to their stall safely post-race. Thats not extraordinary, it’s the way it usually is. But if detractors are going to sensationalize the exception, we should recognize what is typically the rule.
It’s that time of year again and based on his first round picks I’m feeling optimistic that Mowgli isn’t going to be winning my entire extended family’s bracket challenge for the second year in a row #MarchMadness
@dochammy@TampaBayDownsFL Tote issues weren’t the tracks fault. I feel for them, they put on a great, safe day of racing with overall good sized, competitive fields, track announcer did a great job, weather cooperated for once and then still got completely screwed by something beyond their control.
Was woken from a deep sleep this morning by someone knocking on my apt door. Go out to the living room and it’s just Mowgli wagging his tail so hard it’s resoundingly thumping on the floor. No one and nothing around, he’s just…apparently really happy today?
My sister and I both had layovers in Dallas at the same time so we spent 30 minutes trying to meet up (I rode the entire Dallas tram circuit system, twice) and lo and behold…there are 2 very separate airports in Dallas haha
It was a sloppy (lol) ending to the meet @CanterburyPark but it was also the safest meet for horses I’ve worked since I started in the industry. Wonderful and compassionate people all around, and especially given recent events, there’s worse reasons for a track to be in the news
Me: I have the sweetest dog in the world
Mowgli: *being a complete and continuous bully anytime my mom gives him and my sister’s dog presents at the same time*
