Merry Christmas!
Here is a bit of horse racing holiday cheer I gathered that you
might enjoy. Some cute and some sentimental, but all worth checking
out. Also, don't forget to make a tax deductible donation to your
favorite equine charity.

David Cross sells Derby trophy
KAYBEE1947 writes, "How sad that a lifetime horseman like David Cross who
trained Sunny's Halo had to sell his trainer's trophy on eBay just to
pay his bills! I suppose some might say he had his 15 minutes in the
spotlight, but for true racetrackers, it is much more than that. It is
usually half a lifetime of blood, sweat and horse manure. There are years
of thankless travel, long hours, usually at the expense of loved ones and
family."

Human Interest Question for you fans....
SHELLY440 writes, "What are the reasons certain racehorses appeal to you
more than others? While I love and respect all these beauties, horses like
Point Given, You, Cigar, Storm Flag Flying, Booklet, Sky Mesa, With
Anticipation and many others seem to stand out to me. My husband says he
only likes the horses he wins money on but I have never won anything on
Booklet but I love him anyway. Heart and longevity are very appealing,
which is why I adore With Anticipation, Say Florida Sandy, Kona Gold, Bet
on Sunshine, Coyote Lakes and many others."
