Got to see the Kentucky Derby and to watch the trainer's horse come from W-A-A-A-Y-Y-Y back in the field and then pass all those ahead was truly impressive. We had company and didn't get to watch the Belmont Stakes. The trainer's horse, Golden Tempo, won both races coming from the far back. Thrilling! To have finally broken the gender barrier for racehorse trainers for the most prestigious events in horse racing was really rewarding for me to watch. But to do it twice, one of only 13 horses to do so, really is something.
