    Here is one of my old favorites. An elementary school teacher had, as part of a lesson plan, been bringing in various types of meat for the students to taste and identify. The students successfully identified buffalo, turkey and pheasant. One day the teacher brought in venison. The students ate it, but could not identify it. The teacher then said, “I’ll give you a .hint. It;s what your mother sometimes calls your father. A little boy then started screaming. “don’t eai it. It’s jackass.”

      Dear Sheena:

      Wow, what a beautiful girl. I looked up the meaning of her name, Gloam. One definition that came up was Twilight. Love and Hugs, JB

        Ah yes, “. . . roaming in the gloaming. . .” (very old song).
        She is quite lovely.

        Thanks for posting, Sheena.

        Hugs and Love

        • FYI:
          “Roaming in the Gloaming” (on the bonnie banks of Clyde), 1911. Very lively, done by Sir Harry Lauder.

          “In the Gloaming” from 1877 — a very beautiful, bittersweet love song done by many fine singers including Gracie Fields, Robert Merrill, Patricia Hammond, Jo Stafford & Gordon McRae, and Louis Armstrong to name a few. I love this old song.

          Hugs and Love

        • Dear Judy B.,

          Yes, “In the Gloaming” is of Scottish origin. Both Meta Orred who wrote the poem and Annie F. Harrison, composer, were Scots.

          It really is a lovely wistful song.

          Hugs and Love

      Dear Sheena,

      Thanks for posting the Hovis diary. I will certainly keep everything crossed for a good surgical outcome. Poor baby hasn’t lost his sense of humor and neither has his mum.
      Positive vibes and prayers in abundance all for you, Hovis, and for Karen, too.
      God bless you, and St. Francis keep watch, please.

      Hugs and Love

    A follow-up to my last post. A rather obnoxious gentleman came into a diner and asked that waitress what the specialty of the house was. The waitress replied “tongue.” “Tongue,” the guy said, “I couldn’t eat anything that came out of an animal’s mouth.” THe waitress the said, “How about some eggs?”

    Dear Z Fans:

    ZI finished strong for 3rd. Got nervous when he brushed another horse trying to come through. Love and Hugs, JB

    Best Wishes to Hovis!! It was wonderful to hear from him again. Please keep us posted. I haven’t been able to see Ziconic’s race yet, but I understand he got 3rd. Even though he hasn’t won yet, he still manages to be in the money more often than not. His day is coming. I saw that Coz had worked out recently. Maybe his day is coming too. Hopefully, we’ll be getting some info or pictures of Z17 sometime soon. May everyone have a safe and glorious weekend.

      Dear Judy B.,

      Wow, Ziconic sure came on strong at the end — he was almost 2nd! I think he would have made “place” if he and the other horse hadn’t brushed each other a bit. A very good effort though I wish he wouldn’t stay so far in back.

      Thanks for posting the replay. Congrats to the Redhead, VE and all connections.

      Hugs and Love

        Dear Marshall:

        Yes, it would help if he could be positioned mid pack maybe approaching the stretch and then make his run. He always closes so well and full of run. That little brush slowed his momentum a bit too I think. The winner, Liberty Park, is a Tapit also. Congrats to him. Love and Hugs, JB

    I was there . met JAG. My opinion. Victor did not start him soon enough. A few seconds earlier and he wins the race. He was running fast enough at he end if he had been started earlier, to WIN!! C’mon, let’s get someone who really knows how to ride a horse who does one late rung. Just like his mother, Zenyatta. Pissd off!!! Misspelling on purpose.

    Dear Judy.Thank you for sharing Ziconic’s race.I was amazed Karen could write such a witty blog but then Hovis wouldn’t have it any other way.Winx mania has hit Flemington lovely video of her rolling in her box.A lot are surprised Balance is to be sold and in foal to Uncle Mo.Goodnight God bless you LM PC HT and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX

      Dear Sheena:

      Maybe it’s Karen’s way of dealing with her anxiety and concern for Hovis.
      So many of these beautiful mares have been sold lately. Hope she does well in her new home. Love and Hugs, JB

    I’m proud of his courage going between horses like that, in tight quarters! He does have a closing kick, always tries his best, and shows courage. He can’t be as far back as his mother, because he isn’t as big as her, and his stride isn’t as long. He will never win, being so far back; I’m afraid that after a while he will lose confidence. I know I’m not a trainer, but they need to do something different to help him with his running style; I believe he has the talent, and once he wins, there will be no stopping him. I wish they would please, please try blinkers on him, to get him into the race sooner!! He almost got second, even after brushing another horse, and changing course after that; I really believe blinkers could make the difference; it wouldn’t hurt to try!!

    For everyone here that love and remember “Its Tricky” including me. She has a 2 year old juvenile running today in the Champaign. Madallio D’Oro is the dad. Judy sent me the video of his September race so I could see him and everyone he is “Gorgeous” and very talented. I was blown away. He is the bomb. Just love him already. beautiful baby. Curlin has a juvenile in there as well. The Tricky and D’Oro baby’s name is Enticed.
    Sorry, I still do call the 2 year olds baby’s. He is a big baby, though. Lots O Love
    Enticed is # 4. Race 8 Belmont.

      Dear Peggy:

      Enticed is gorgeous; almost true Black. We have to keep track of him. Love his Mama. Remember at Saratoga when they threw a bucket of water on her to cool her down; she dumped her jock. ❤️ Love and Hugs, JB
