I think this is the best picture I've seen of the Preakness anywhere. You had your camera in the right spot at just the right time, Alysse! I'm sure you were tickled to death when you saw what you got! Excellent work. Awesome seat for the Preakness. I have to get down there one of these years...

Tickled didn't even begin to describe it! I was just like daaaamn. I technically didn't have a seat for the race. Actually, I wasn't even supposed to be where I was. Hehe!

In all honesty, the Preakness isn't that fun. It's all the alcohol that makes it worth going to. It's my big drunk fest of the year.

He's doing remarkably well. It looks like his cast will come off his right fore in a week. The left one (the laminitis foot) still has a long way to go, but it's getting healthy growth.
