This morning could not have been anymore perfect. The weather was cool, crisp, and sunny. I can clearly tell the difference in the buzz from Monday until today. In only three days the action on the backside has increased by 110%. A lot of horses have shipped in from Oaklawn
and Fair Grounds. All of the stables that is starting to fill up. Astrology, Cozzetti
, Glinda the Good, Jemima's Pearl, and Nehro
arrived on the grounds. Today we will feature Larry Jones and his top two horses stabled at his barn - Mark Valeski and Havre de Grace. I can't express how awesome it is to be able to see a Horse of the Year in person. After visiting with these two, Mark Valeski and Believe You Can got saddled and ready to go out on the track to gallop. I was able to grab a quick video of the two before Mark Valeski headed out onto the track.
