Down the Stretch They Come...

...not really a big Horse racing aficionado, but always make sure I watch the Kentucky Derby.

You can't win the Triple Crown if you don't win this one.

"Justify" is undefeated and a legitimate threat for the Triple Crown.

Horses are such magnificent creatures and "Justify" looks like one of the special ones.

Something I got to see once and I have on the bucket list . Funny I worked for a Kentucky company 10 years and the guys who live there never even went to it . Also stories of very rich Arabs landing private planes at private Arabian horse breeders ranch's full of suv's and full vehicle caravans . And you're right horses are very special animals in their own right .Just saw the movie 12 Strong and thought to myself "these remarkable combat horses aren't getting the credit they deserve" . I hold them in the same regard as K9's.

Cheers brother ! Have a great Sunday and may your batteries be fully charged by Monday morning . Peter
