Default Dirty little secrets

Anyone else want to 'fess up?

Those horses who just never seem to make it to the winner's circle but who you root for anyway? The "non-winners"?

Don't worry, I won't post my list (too many) but Go Now (hooray! ) is entered in R2 at Oaklawn tomorrow.

No expectations, no disappointments..... he can be last again but I'll still cheer him on.

Anyone else have one?

There is a gelding in the Mandella barn named Presidental Cause and while he hasnt set the world on fire, he has won several races including one on my mom's birthday. I just love the guy, and have since he started running. They gelded him hoping he would graduate from riding the "short bus" and act like a professional race horse, but alas he still riding the short bus and finding every way possible to screw himself up, but like I told a friend that rides him "Even short bus riding horses need love to"!!!!!

Too many to list.

At the moment over here, it's a horse named Motarjm. Not a great horse by any means, but capable. He never quite gets there. I keep following him, but my pocket feels lighter everytime.

Stormont in America, for obvious reasons.
