Breeders cup

     In honor of the upcoming Breeders Cup Races on Nov 4th and 5th, the University of Kentucky Horse Club held a discussion panel with Pat Day, "retired hall of fame jockey." It was very interesting listening to Mr. Day talk about riding in the Breeders Cups during his career.  These races are like a wrap up championship race for thoroughbreds where the elite of elites run.  The Breeders cup offers over 26 million in purse earnings over the two day event making it the richest day in sports after the Dubai World Cup. Because I was affiliated with NARA, I was privileged to receive free tickets to the Breeders Cup from the UK Horse Club.
     With the weather getting colder every day, riding has become more exciting. The horses are more active and want to play and run.  My hands and feet have also been getting cold and stiff which has thrown some loops into my riding but nothing too strenuous. 
        I'm adding a donation button to my blog for those of you who would like to donate to my once a week Starbucks outings where I do my blogging.  Don't feel obligated,  but if you would like to donate that would be awesome.

Till next time,

Jesse

    "A penny for my thoughts, Oh no,
    I'll sell em' for a dollar"

    Enjoy the Breeders cup and hope you get plenty of coffees.
