100+ again and Derby results

Well, it WAS 100+degrees here yesterday, and apparently we are headed that direction again today.  However, by tomorrow, and then Tuesday, the temps will be in the 80's and then down to 77.  Must be a storm front moving in Tuesday.

Hubby did really well with a couple of races and doubled his money.  I, however, did horribly with the Derby.  Of course, we both picked California Chrome to win, but the fun is guessing who will be 2nd or 3rd.  And, our horses came in 4th, 8th, and 11th, so no money there.  I mean, how could we go against California Chrome to win?  Great race!

I'm heading up to the horse ranch this morning.  Unfortunately, the ranch owner lost one of her pregnant mares last week.  She broke a leg trying to get up.  She'd had hock issues and a big baby, and now, alas, both the mare and baby are gone...such is the world of horses.  Having lost two dearly-loved horses myself (my mare Beauty and my mustang palomino filly Cali), I know the heartbreak of losing a horse.

On a happier note, my gelding Sunni enjoys his new status as babysitter to the little colt next to him.  Apparently he is doing a great job watching over the little guy!

 Here's the little guy...all legs!

Here's a VERY DIRTY "Uncle Sunni" in the arena after rolling.
