Horse Racing, Saturday at the Preakness.

The Electrician and I were watching The Preakness on t.v., for those of my readers that don’t know what it is, it the second of a 3 rounds of Horse racing.  It is the second of the races that lead up to the Triple crown.  This year,  we watched the Kentucky Derby, and the Electrician and I both picked our horses.  We don’t bet on them for real (I wish I would have though). 

While we were looking at the horses, and commenting on them.  I had to go with my first choice.  I’ll have Another, was the horse I choose, (obvious reasons for anyone that knows me. hehehe).  When the Kentucky Derby started I looked for my horse and sighed, because he was in the back of the pack.  But then, WHAMMO, my horse won!  I screamed at the t.v. and hollered and high-fived the Electrician who was watching it with me.  It was a fun race to watch.

So, with the Preakness coming on, I had to go with my heart and that would be yet again I’ll have Another, I am loyal to my horse.  And believe me I’ll have Another is a beautiful horse.  When the race started, the Electrician  and I were outside, (check my next post), but we came in and immediately were drawn to the t.v.   It was Brodymiester in the lead,  BUT  I’ll have Another was just coming into stride, and beat  the other horse by a neck.  What a race folks, I wish I had bet some money on this horse.

What a great race.  I love the horse racing and have seen it in person when I lived in Albuquerque.  To be honest, at one time my ex-husband actually used to warm up the race horses.  We would go to the track at 5:30 am and then he would run various horses and I would watch.  BUT that was a long, long time ago.

I can’t wait for the Belmont though.  I have a feeling.  This horse just might be able to take the Triple Crown.  Wouldn’t that be neat?  Ok, I sound like a nerd, but I really do like Horse racing.  Way to go “I’ll have Another”.  and Good luck on the next part of your journey.
