Nothing about the buzzer, but the FBI is reopening a cold case called "Bush track in the Bayou"

I have a couple win pics from back in the day, one is with the split rails from one of my mothers horses. If I can get the printer up and running, I will scan them and post them. Man, I grew up at those bush tracks and had the time of my life. And Calvin wasnt lying when he talked about painting a black horse white. I have seen some crazy things, one of the most memorable was being chased off a track in Krotz Springs by a bunch of ticked off coonasses with a shotgun cause my moms "barrel racing" horse out run their undefeated stud colt by daylight .hehe

They gave a new meaning to "paint" horse! I still hear of some of these races around these parts, as well as in Mississippi. For me, its all fun and games until somebody pulls out the shotguns.

Yeah that was funny after we got a few miles down the road, not so much as we were throwing the horse in the trailer.lol But heck, I grew up at those bush tracks, so I thought it was normal! Can't say we havent done our share of tricking though. At one time we had 2 half brothers, one was sorrel with chrome everywhere and could win a halter class anywhere, the other, Red, was a barely 15hand, long, rangy thing, who did look like much but no one could beat him 250yds and we would drive up looking for a match and would always go to the "top" horse and ask them to match and they could pick who they wanted to run agianst...well of course it was always "Red" and man, those guys would be ticked off after he beat them 2-3 lenghts going 250yds! It got to the point the jock that rode him would try to get the other jocks to bet him $200, one jump out the gate!!!! Now thats confidence!

Come on down to Arizona for some awesome match races. All QH's, of course, and always bet the horse that ships from the furthest south.

The races here are actually well-ran, with photo-finish and all. Lots of money on the line in some of the races...
