i've always been a complete horse nut. so it just came naturally to me. i remember the days of the slew crew, and i wanted alydar to beat affirmed. and then spectacular bid came along (i liked general assembly myself...i detect a pattern!)...but then, in '80, that big beautiful chestnut filly with a blazed face came along. oh man, that was it. you see, i'm a tomboy, always have been. and there she was duking it out with the boys, and she beat them. it was great. she was also my first derby horse to win...i love seattle slew, but didn't see him run til after the t.c. he was almost before my time....
i've got a tony leonard print of risk. she had tremendous heart, she was a tough gal on the track and now she's our senior derby winner.
