I am a white female; my ethnic background is Eastern European. I am an NYU graduate; my teaching career of thirty-two years ended a few years ago when I retired.! I am a refugee from the old Thoroughbred Times forum. It was a thrill everyday, but I like the calmness here. I remember Native Dancer's Derby, but the love of my life in the 1950's was Nashua. I never placed a bet until I met my husband(of thirty two years)...a degenerate gambler! We are from the East Coast...NJ to be exact, so we have gotten to see many outstanding horses in person. Among them are Seattle Slew(our favorite), Affirmed, Alydar, Spectacular Bid, Davona Dale, John Henry, Slew O" Gold, Swale, A.P. Indy Serena's Song, Bernardini, etc.. We are both dedicated animal lovers. We breed dogs and my husband is a dog trainer. Our beloved horse Ocho died in 2005 from the infirmities of old age. He was a twenty-nine-year old Appaloosa. We really miss him. We live rural...in the boondocks, so he lived right on our property. We donate to helping horses, but we are not going to adopt again. We are just too old.
