I was supposed to be in the stands cheering him down the stretch. In fact, I was supposed to be in the stands right now (there’s my empty seat #104), waiting for what could be a race for the ages between Songbird, Beholder, and Stellar Wind in the Distaff later today.
Those plans went down the tubes with the arrival of a litter of puppies, and problems.
Don’t ever go into breeding dogs. They’ll ruin your life.
(Update: They did not disappoint.)
What a shame, Kate. Don’cha hate it when one passion interferes with another! Hope your horse wins.
Fair to say your life has gone to the dogs.
Kate – I have had hunting dogs for decades. Never was a breeder but I know the risks cuz I raised horses for decades as well.
Thanks for these periodic postings from the racing industry. An often maligned and misunderstood endeavour but what a sport. There’s nothing like it.
Affirmed vs. Alydar – 1978, a sporting event for the ages. Nothing has come close before or since……
Good luck with the pups.
The Beholder – Songbird matchup will be talked about for years to come. What a race!
then stop breeding dogs!!
In the preprogresssive era one could say ” won by a c–t ” hair.”
Ah, but what way to go. My mother often complained about the dogs that she and my father owned, but guess who openly wept each time they had to send one on to its final rest?
Great classic race two incredible horses on display .
Bob Baffert winning his second breeders cup event of the day showed he is up there with the great trainers .
