I thought I should give you an update on the horse race...I stopped in to the paddock to just check how our big horse Leeron was doing and how soon the race was coming up, and I overheard a small group of seasoned bettors talking. They're the ones who head down to the paddock before the race to look in the horse's eye, see if he's too excited or too lazy to be dependable...maybe up their bets or switch to another horse. Well, these guys are talking about little CYD Farms and their horse Leeron and they're getting excited. And suddenly several new horses showed up from the CYD Farms stable cuz the track just increased the purse for this race. Turns out they got Triple Nag and Long Haul into the race, and suddenly Big Nash showed up prancing all around with a lot of energy. And then these bettors were suddenly whispering about a mystery horse CYD Farms was trying to get in at the last minute also...they only knew him as "Partner" so we'll have to see whether he can still make it before they head to the track...
Looks like the race is getting closer, the jockeys are all out and getting instructions, and I'll keep you updated! Quite an atmosphere here at the track, however!!
