I guess a short, unedited video is not the best way to start this blog, but the colt running by is Mr. Cowboy. He's probably the most exciting part of my life right now. He is an unraced 2 year old colt and I am one of his many owners.  I'll tell his story later,( maybe tomorrow) I've watched him grow up since he was a little weanling and now he's ready for his first race, maybe this Saturday. We'll know on Wednesday.

Today is the first day of writing. I like the writing, but my typing is terrible. The other day I wrote something like "Did you see the drak hores urn by," so be prepared. I'll be checking, but I always miss something. You can correct me anytime and please let me know if the mistake is outrageous.

I am a horse racing fan. I've been one for more that 25 years. I'm going to the Breeder's Cup in a couple of weeks and I want to spend my time there hearing from and talking to fans and writing about our horse racing experiences. Ever since I was first introduced to this sport I've felt a connection and some kind of karmic relationship  and know that there are others who feel the same. I can handicap, and like cashing a ticket, but I love all the other parts too. I love the color, the horses, the jockeys, the grooms, the trainers, the horses,  the tradition, the cheering,  the sounds,  the foggy breath of a horse galloping on a cool morning.  Somebody recently caused me a "racetracker" and I was proud of the label. I said horses three times on purpose.

I want to talk to everyone who loves this sport and I want to meet you too. I'll be arriving in Loiuisville on November 2, and I hope  I see you all.

Tomorrow I'll tell you about Cowboy and after that, I'm waiting to see where all this writing and all my racing "soul mates" lead me.
