In which a freelance writer contemplates the publishing industry, horse racing and the human-animal relationship. Hey, I'm not the first to ponder the connections. "The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business." John Steinbeck

In the Sprit of Rachel Alexandra. . .
She beat the boys--so much for my great handicapping skills! I love the track announcer's comment, "In the spirit of Rachel Alexandra," Havre de Grace becomes only the second female to win the Woodward. Quite an accomplishment.
It is, however, a long way to Horse of the Year. If she wants those honors, she will have to beat the boys, flat out in the Breeder's Cup Classic--at least that is what I think. And in other news, Animal Kingdom has been cleared to resume training.
So it should be an interesting fall of racing.
