HUGE sports weekend here in Philly. Our often maligned Phillies are in the WORLD SERIES--this does not happen very often around here--and Sons 1 & 2 are coming in for the event. We are among the fortunate who actually have two tickets for Sat. night, when it is supposed to rain.....
Add the Phillies Fever to Breeder's Cup excitement and this could be an armchair athlete's greatest hits. There are, of course, races on Friday when the Phillies have an off day, but to be honest, my heart and head are pretty wrapped up in baseball right now.
That said, there is indeed one horse I am squarely rooting for on Saturday: Dancing Forever in the Turf. Dancing Forever, is the offspring of Dancinginmy dreams, the horse that suffered pretty much the same injury that Barbaro did, but lived to procreate. Dancinginmydreams spent almost a year at New Bolton and did not succumb to the laminitis that did Barbaro in. Precedence alone for Dean Richardson to try to save Barbaro.
Anyway, what goes around comes around and I would love nothing more than for this baby to find the winner's circle in what surely would be a triumph of hope, medicine and luck. Here's hoping that all the horses in the Breeder's Cup two day event come home safely.
And if the Phils were to happen to take a game or two or three? Well, reason to paint the town red.
