happy derby day


I found myself wondering how the horses feel before the big race. Do they get the feeling of butterflies in their belly, does their heart race, maybe they repeat a mantra (so maybe that's a bit of a stretch). Then I also thought about the pep talk that the owner, trainer, and jockey must give to their horse. I wonder what they say, or if they have rituals or special prayers. I imagine they do.

Many congrats to Street Sense. That horse probably made a lot of people happy tonight.
