My Six Shooter Gun [01:31]
This is Cole. Otherwise known as the equitation horse who forgot how to trot. He's been off for a few months due to lameness; only to find that his limping was fake. These were the very few good shots of today, all cantering, in some he looks like he's tropping. I look as stiff as a board. -Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 12 -Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People
1998 Breeders' Cup Mile + Post Race [13:40]
Regardless of the odds it is not wise to dismiss any horse trained by Michael Dickinson. The lesson was manifested dramatically this afternoon as Da Hoss, at 11-1 odds and in only his second start after a 22-month layoff, won the $1 million Breeders' Cup Mile for the second time in three years. With a half-furlong remaining the 6-year-old gelding appeared beaten as another long shot, Hawksley Hill, pushed his nose in front on the outside. But under the jockey John Velazquez, who had never had a Breeders' Cup mount before this year, Da Hoss rallied and prevailed by a head at the wire. The final time for the race on a turf course rated firm was 1:351/5 , three-fifths of a second faster than the clocking when Da Hoss won the Breeders' Cup Mile at Woodbine in Toronto in 1996 under Gary Stevens. This time, he returned $25.20 for a $2 win ticket. Miesque, a champion in both Europe and North America, won consecutive runnings of the Mile in 1987-88, as did Lure in 1992-93. But in many respects Da Hoss's twin triumphs are more extraordinary, because the only start he made between them was a three-quarter-length victory in allowance company at Colonial Downs in Virginia on Oct. 11. Da Hoss has been plagued with physical problems since he was a foal. ''A fetlock when he was a foal,'' Dickinson said, ''a pair of bone spurs as a yearling, another fetlock in June of last year, some lameness last fall. There have been some vet bills. His groom spends six hours a day with him, massaging ...

Boomer's Run at Magnolia :) [00:25]
So I am super proud of Boomer...this is his first actual barrel race, and because of my sickness and his lameness, I have gotten to ride him about 6 or 7 times in the past 4 months...on top of that, he had an emergency vet call on wednesday...so it's safe to say I was not expecting him to do this awesome :) I'd say it's not too shabby for our first run considering all that :) I love this horse.
