I feel like many aren't aware of this rule change to Derby qualification (I wasn't):

Two (2) Derby invitations get extended to the leaders of the Euro/Middle East Road to the Derby, and that doesn't count a horse like Flood Zone who already qualified via America.

I'm guessing that "jumping a puddle of urine" won't be in the new Equibase glossary. 🏇

When cleaning out an old box in our bathroom today, we uncovered a miracle. This little tube of Neosporin has somehow survived 7 moves and a cross country journey. It’s old enough to place a bet, maybe even order a drink. I should be disgusted, but I’m kind of impressed/sentimental about it.

While cleaning out some childhood stuff from my dad’s basement over the weekend, I uncovered this gem, still in its original box… along with every Breyer horse I ever got. (I was that kid who even had the stable.)
