🐎 KENTUCKY DERBY DAYDREAMS 🐎

IF IT'S ONE THING I'VE LEARNED
OVER MANY RACING YEARS
IS TO JUST GO WITH MY HEART
WHICH OFTEN BRINGS TEARS

BUT THEN IN SOME YEARS
IT ALL WORKS OUT RIGHT
WHEN MY LONG-SHOT COMES THRU
AND MY HEART SING ALL NITE 🎶


SILVER CHARM, CHARISMATIC
GIACOMO ~ MY SWEET GRAY
THUNDER GULCH & GRINDSTONE
FOR ME THEY DID PAY!
$$$$$

SO FOR THOSE WHO PLAY CHALK
A WIN SOMETIMES WILL BRING
BUT FOR ME TIZ A LONG-SHOT
THAT MAKES MY HEART SING! 🎶


THE WEATHER, THE NOISE, THE DRAMA
THESE 3 YEAR OLDS WILL FACE
SO ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN
IN A 20-HORSE FIELD RACE!

I'M TOTALLY AGAINST 20 :(
14 IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE
BUT 'TRADITION' TRUMPS SAFETY
THAT'S ALL THAT THEY CAN SEE :mad:


SO WIN, LOSE OR TIE
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL
IS THAT 20 ALL STAY SAFE
AND NOT ONE HORSE WILL EVER FALL! :)


🐯 MAY THE PURRRRR BE WITH YOU 😻

Secretariat made me love horse racing. I was 14 when he won the Triple Crown and showed the world there was no match for him. There's never been another like him. HIs legacy goes on through his amazing offspring. He came from horse racing royalty...Pharos, Nearco and Nasrullah on his sire's side, Polymelian and Princequillo on his dam's side. His female offspring carried his line to victory. Terlingua with Chapel of Dreams and Storm Cat, Weekend Surprise with AP Indy, who died in 2020 at 30 years old. His progeny are excellent on dirt or turf. This "family" is truly one of the greatest. #GOAT

Yes, I'm a huge Storm Cat fan and all of his proginy. Patty and I visited the farms in Kentucky, I blieve some time around 20+ years ago and was lucky enough to get my picture taken standing next to Storm Cat at Taylor Made.

🖤🙏❤️ Wishes Do Come True 🙏💙❤️
 

SOMETIMES WISHES COME TRUE
MY MISCHIEF JUST GOT IN :{>:
YES HE IS A LONGSHOT
BUT… LONGSHOTS OFTEN WIN :tro:

Glad for your sake that Cyclone Mischief drew in, even if it means losing a horse that I thought could be a legitimate contender in Practical Move. I had sort of expected to hear that Lord Miles might be scratched because of all of the other problems in the Saffie Joseph barn, but it seems as if they haven't pulled the plug yet. Lots of other scratches from the Joseph barn in other races.

:{>: INTO MISCHIEF IS MY CURRENT FAVE SIRE :{>:

HAS BEEN FOR A VERY LONG TIME :{>:

HOW WOULD I NOT WANT HIS SON TO WIN :tro:

:( My Only Regret

Wish It Was Not Practical Move
Who Opened The Door For Mischief

Since He Is The Grandson Of
My Fave Sire = Into Mischief :{>:

He Was Who I Was Rooting For
If Cyclone Mischief Didnt Get In

So Its A Bittersweet Purrrrrrr

As suggested in an earlier post, Lord Miles has been withdrawn from the Derby as well, thus allowing Mandarin Hero to draw in.

This one is going to send me back to the drawing board. I think that MH is a very interesting longshot.

Back to the drawing board JB says. I guess so if 6 other Saffie horses are withdraw too. So much for posting early.

WHO WILL RIDE MY MISCHIEF :{>:

Rosario originally was scheduled but he has another Mount

Cyclone Mischief will be ridden by Corey Lanerie

Lanerie is great on young'uns.

I Thought Maybe Vazquez Since
Losing Mount In Practical Move

I Have Always Liked Corey :{>:

🏇🙏🏇
 

I CANNOT FIND WHERE THE
“ EXTRAS “ ARE HISING :zz:

LIKE LAST PLACE FINISHER + THOSE OTHER ODD GUESSES

IVE LOOKED AT ALL THE THREADS
BUT SO FAR NO LUCK

PLEASE CLUE ME IN 🙏

I saw a quote from Jose Ortiz, saying that he had never ridden Kingsbarn, but he had watched every race. This truly shows the "sport" of horse racing. Watching for problems or advantages. Imagining the trip before it happens. This sport is ultimately instinct and expertise of horse and jockey, no matter what Baffert thinks.

Ruffian, they are in my original thread "YEA IT'S DERBY WEEK" . . .

I think as far as his riding style is concerned he is a clone of Calvin Bo Rail. Not a bad style to have at Churchill.:tro:

My Neighbor Called Me On The Phone 📞
Earlier When She Heard Me Screaming 🙀

She Was Fearful I Had Been Attacked

I Told Her
No No No

My Favorite Derby Horse
Just Got Into The Race :{>:
