An Improbable and Exciting Derby Day!
Anyone who knows me very well knows I am as nuts about Thoroughbred horse racing as I am about working border collies. Yesterday's Kentucky Derby, with 50-1 longshot Mine That Bird and Calvin Borel winning going away at a record distance was just thrilling beyond belief. It's a Disney movie in the making! With owners and trainer from New Mexico (called the Land of Enchantment for a reason!) the horse and rider team paired up to give us the most exciting two minutes in sports. The horse I had picked, Chocolate Candy, did not fare too badly, either, coming in fifth.
