That's Racing.

The Girl started @ Eagle Farm on Saturday finishing well back in the field after being ridden @ Breakneck pace 2nd from the lead... most certainly not the instructions given & very disheartening to say the least because she is just such a genuine mare & gives 100% everytime she races. We will send her for a decent spell now & give her a chance to be a horse as only she knows how! Thank Heavens DDH knows racing inside out & does not allow these kind of set backs to deter him from enabling the mare to achieve her full potential...

Pop came out home to visit & watch the race with DDD & I great photo opportunity with Tia... Pop is sooo... not into having his photo taken but does it for us luckily! The Eldest @ 91Yrs & The Youngest @ 3Mths of our Family...

Just a couple of Shots of the Sun Setting here @ home the other evening it was just so pretty but still have some learning to do in this area must read up in the Manual about Sunset's...

The Girl.

In This Racing Game you learn to count your Blessings very early on in the peace... In The Girl's race today 4 horses & jockeys came down in a bad race fall just inches away...My Heart goes out to everyone involved... My Counted Blessing being that The Girl came back to the enclosure A -OK & anything else surely a Bonus...

Pop & I had intended to head down for the day of racing but Pop just was not up to it today ... so instead we went for lunch @ a favourite Pub & then called in @ the local racetrack to watch the race before dropping Pop back just in time for afternoon tea which he was rather pleased about - routine is a big player @ this stage of things! We both had a good day...

Dance Girl Dance.

Much suppressed excitement here @ home... Our little Mare " Dance Girl Dance" has just made the field for a big race in Brisbane this Saturday - so we are now officially bubbling away with Anticipation... Fingers Crossed!!! DH & I are not Gamblers so to reach this point with one of our progeny is very special to us... But if you have been in this game long enough - you know there is No Such Thing As A Sure Thing in Racing - but you sure can Hope!


This is "Dance Girl Dance" or Mischief... as I have always known her from a little foal... following a Barrier Trial in her first preparation @ the Wash Bay with the stable strapper. Go Girl!!!
