Searching from my Kentucky
Searching from my Kentucky derby contender helps me get through the winter blues, it has been a hard decision this year. Watching multiple replays (California Chrome and Seven Furlong race) caught my attention that this could be the one. Going back to the video, Robert B. Louis stake was not in the actual race. What happened after the race watching Candy Boy how far galloped out of the race. There are non-believers in this colt but after the Santa Anita Derby the word will be the "Candy Man can".
I started thinking about what Canadian Racing was missing, and it was easy to figure out. We have a great ambassador for the sport and she draws huge attention when she comes to Canada. She has a huge passion for horses and horse racing alike. Her Royal highness has a Canadian race which is dedicated to her.
What is really missing here, and long overdue, is that the Queen's name should have a place in the Canadian Hall of Fame of horse racing. The love and compassion that the Queen shows for horses is so deserving of this honour.
