Ready...Set...GO!!! Five-way field race [00:32]
From left to right, the contestants are: Connie on Jazz (chestnut Florida Cracker gelding), Daniel on Achilles (chestnut Andalusian/QH gelding), Tyler on Gus (dun QH gelding), Kerry on Jessie (brown/white paint mare), Mary((me)) on Pascal (bay QH gelding). Obviously, Connie won this one, and the rest of us were just in this big pack. The next race video is better because we set up horse/rider finish line poles. (Sam on Tazer and Kevin on McCager, Kevin is also our wonderful film-maker here and we thank him very much for taking these videos.) (Lol I just noticed that in the middle of the race, Tyler lost his orange hat.)

Wholelottashakin ROCKS the 9th race on May 27th @ Belmont [08:03]
Wholelottashakin WON the 9th race on Sunday, May 27th at Beautiful Belmont Park. She broke sharp from the 5 hole with Javier, he put her in good position until about the 5/8ths pole where she almost ran up the leader's you know what... Javier had to jerk her head to get her to the outside - any other horse would have packed it in right there but she continued in stride. Javier saved ground behind the leaders, the favorite went wide and he went for the hole on the rail and the rest my friends, as they say, is history. She flew down the stretch and held off a repeated challenge from the fancy 4yo and prevailed under strong urging. She loves a little give in the ground and I think she likes the mile distance. Congratulations to all ~ certainly a nice way to celebrate the Holiday weekend!
