Tight Finish

Nothing beats 2 Horses and their Jocks going shoulder to shoulder down the Stretch , especially if you have a couple of Bucks on one of them . This duel won by the Horse on the rail #1a "Above the Clouds" , #2 "Tyger Gold" gets the place.

BC Cup Day

In a couple of Hours it will be time to head out to the Track. It's BC Cup Day , the Biggest Day of Racing in BC.

Its our version of the Breeders Cup.

Seven Stakes Races for , 2Yr Olds , Sprinters , Fillies & Mares , Colts Geldings , a Starters Handicap Race of 1 3/8 Mile for Horses that like to go Long , and the Classic featuring "Spaghetti Mouse" and a couple of invaders from Woodbine and down South. The weather is Perfect and the Track will be Fast. It is usually the largest crowd of the Year and there will be Bands playing between races. The Renovations have not been finished at the Track and the large crowd might create some long line ups for Food and Beverages so a little patience might be required , but it should be a Good Day, a Lucky Day would be better. Hopefully I can get lots of good pics to share.
