Horses, Heart and Kentucky's Unbridled Spirit FEATURE 2021 How might we be inspired by the resiliency of our horses to gallop unbridled beyond conventional boundaries to reach new heights of success?

Watching a herd of horses in the field on a peaceful morning it is common to see several horses napping on the ground with one or more horses standing guard over them. We might notice them touching Horses, Heart and Kentucky's each other in friendship or nipping to get one another moving. One horse discovers sweeter grass or shade on a Unbridled Spirit: hot day and the herd moves together to the next best place to be. If the herd is quietly grazing “United We Stand Divided We Fall” and one horse senses danger, maybe a coyote slinking Galloping Toward a Better World through the field or a loud unexpected noise, the message is passed instantly through by Jackie Stevenson, Kentucky culture and daily resilient realm of nature. the herd from one horse to MSSA, LISW, BCC life as a symbol of strength, Masters of resiliency, horses the other and they all move as dreams, resiliency, and forward trace their lineage back over one.

  • Wager Guide Pimlico Race Course Oct03 Preakness
    1/ST BET WAGER GUIDE PREAKNESS STAKES OCT03 PIMLICO RACE COURSE MEET THE PREAKNESS CONTENDERS By Johnny D., @XBJohnnyD AUTHENTIC: He’s the wire-to-wire upset winner of the Kentucky Derby at over 8-1 odds for 6-time roses-wearing trainer Bob Baffert. The trainer’s record with Derby winners returning in Preakness is unblemished—5-for-5. Baffert won additional Preakness scrums with Derby disappointments Point Given and Lookin At Lucky for a record 7 wins in the traditional second leg of the Triple Crown. This year, things are just a bit different (the understatement of all time). With the truncated 2020 Belmont Stakes already in the books, Preakness is presented one month – instead of two weeks – after the Kentucky Derby. A month between Derby and Preakness shouldn’t bother Authentic at all. So far, not much has. He’s lost just 1 of 6 starts and his Derby triumph shushed critics who had suggested the colt might be distance- challenged. While it’s possible that extra time between this year’s Derby and Preakness might permit a new face to adequately prepare to challenge Authentic for current sophomore preeminence, that mission will need to be completed on the racetrack…and it won’t be easy. ART COLLECTOR: Unlucky to be forced to miss the Kentucky Derby with a slight hoof injury that necessitated antibiotic treatment, this Bernardini colt figures as the main contender to Authentic— possibly early and late in the Preakness. First across the finish in 5 consecutive races by an average winning margin of 4.7 lengths, Art Collector was on fire heading into the Kentucky Derby.

    RICE’S DERBY CHOICE JOURNAL 2020 41st Edition “Facts are stubborn things. Whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions.” - Future POTUS John Adams speaking in defense of accused British soldiers following the Boston Massacre 1 For my contemporaries, whose numbers grow smaller by the day, 1968 stands at the apogee of anni horribilis. That year, in response to the Tet Offensive in January, the U.S. presence in Viet Nam peaked at a troop level in excess of half a million. Within a two month span that spring, the horror of assassination struck both MLK and RFK. Viet Nam and Civil Rights generated a fissure in America so acute that a shadow of despair loomed over every band on the spectrum of the body politic. LBJ, in a virtual abdication, declined to seek re-election shortly after a narrow win in the New Hampshire primary. Richard Nixon defeated Vice- President Hubert Humphrey in that fall’s general election while George Wallace’s third-party candidacy carried five states in the Deep South. In the spring 0f 1968, the hardened constituents of thoroughbred racing found a welcomed respite in the ninety-fourth running of the Kentucky Derby. That interlude from strife proved brief. The favorite at 2.20/1 was Calumet Farm’s Forward Pass who sought to succeed Whirlaway (’41), Pensive (’44), Citation (’48), Ponder (’49), Hill Gail (’52), Iron Liege (’57), and Tim Tam (’58) as the eighth Calumet rep wearing the roses. Dancer’s Image, a son of Native Dancer owned by Boston sportsman Peter Fuller, was the tepid second choice at 3.60/1.
