Here are a couple places on the internet where you can buy a lawn jockey:

http://www.lawnjockey.com/ (and they're having a sale right now!)

http://www.horseinfo.com/cart/jockey.html


Every fan of horse racing needs one of these guys!

How about one like this......



Karen got it from this person in Georgia, it's made out of aluminum instead of ceramic. The shipping from there to here was a little over $50.00, but Karen won't tell me how much it cost they also have items on E-Bay.

I got the Ouija Board book that I have been wanting. I really loved her when she was running and I cant wait to crack the book open.I always get stuff for my horses, which I always look forward too.

Wow, Hoff - very nice!

Bring it to Lexington, and we'll sneak it over and insert it outside the Simulcast area at Keeneland, were the lawn jockeys showing the winners of all the stakes are lined up. Hey, they "might" not notice ?

No decision yet on Peppers Pride
By Mary Rampellini

Peppers Pride has not yet been officially retired, but all signs were pointing in that direction as of Tuesday.

"We're still not positive, or 100 percent, but we're leaning that way," said Joel Marr, who trains Peppers Pride for her breeder, Joe Allen.

Peppers Pride is undefeated in 19 starts and owns the longest win streak in modern North American history. She had been expected to retire following the $125,000 New Mexico Racing Commission Handicap at Sunland Park on Dec. 14, but she won in such a convincing fashion that she forced her connections to rethink plans. As of Tuesday, however, a broodmare career seemed to be at hand.

Marr said Allen is continuing to look at stallion prospects for Peppers Pride, although no stud deal has been made.

Peppers Pride is a 6-year-old New Mexico-bred by the Fappiano stallion Desert God.
