Did anybody watch The Preakness Stakes today? probably not...

The start of the race reminded me of the Summer of 1963 when our future
brother-in-law took me & Michael horseback riding in Fairmount Park.

There were 3 horses in the Barn. Paul chose 'Sour Kraut', I chose 'lay z boy',
and Michael chose 'jumping jack flash'. Michael got thrown from his mount
coming out of the Barn...later during the same ride, my horse hugged a tree & would not move.

I had to walk back to the Barn...we did finally learn to ride, got bored and then convinced our
future brother-in-law that he needed to teach us how to ride Mo-peds
 & he obliged...




Back to The Preakness...I feel bad for the Starter Guy

  • For the poor jockey
  • For the people that bet on BodexPress
  • The owners
And mostly for the horse. I felt sad to see him running w/out a rider. He looked confused.

Took them awhile to gather him...
