1999 Goodwood BC Handicap - Budroyale [02:28]
A Boston Red Sox fan since he was 8 years old, Ted West hit the daily double Saturday. His baseball team got back into the American League playoffs and his durable gelding, Budroyale, earned a ticket for the Breeders' Cup by knocking off General Challenge in the $498000 Goodwood Breeders' Cup Handicap at Santa Anita. Ted H. West, Ted West's son, trains Budroyale now, having taken over the stable in April when his father got into trouble with California racing authorities, but the Wests will go to Florida as a team when they try to duplicate Saturday's upset in the $4-million Breeders' Cup Classic at Gulfstream Park on Nov. 6. Ted West, 62, turned over 24 horses and Budroyale to his son when he was fined $12000 and suspended for 90 days after eight of his horses that ran in 1998 tested positive for the controversial drug clenbuterol. Horses can train but not race on the drug in California. One of West's positives came after a win by Budroyale at Hollywood Park. "We don't give it to Budroyale anymore, we'd be crazy to after what they did to me," the elder West said. "But I still believe in the medication--I think it's good for horses--and Kentucky, which is about 100 years ahead of California, just recently came out with clenbuterol rules that make more sense." It was the trainer's father who spent $50000 to claim Budroyale from trainer Nick Canani as the California-bred was winning a race at Santa Anita in February 1998. That was the last in a succession of claims for ...

Mail Race [00:21]
I am the neon orange/black horse rider. We go fast ;) Partners, one person passes a rolled up news paper to the other team mate. We placed 4th out of....a lot of partners :D Go us! And the chestnut that runs across first is my partner. He's a 16.2h quarter horse, maybe like 18 years old? Somewhere. And my horse is a 14.2h tennessee walker. This was at the fair :) It wasn't a timed event, there was a judge who determined the winner of the heat. Sort of like a relay race, but it was very dangerous xD GOod thing my partners horse was used to horses barreling at it. Some sort of track work out helper when he was younger. Cute eh?
