What won't the internet tell you?

We were closed for Remembrance Day yesterday so it was an extremely slow day yesterday.

Having nothing better to do today I reread my last post.....

I will never be able to look the supermarket produce manager in the eye ever again

Finally something to do while alone on Rememberance Day

Too bad I don't have a sofa

Okay so there is still no racing info for you fine feted follower(s). But here goes I am now legally licensed to own race horses in 3 province and licensed to sport fish in 2. Now if this keeps up some one will start accusing me of having a swelled head with my cross border dandering but rest assured I will remain the overly large prairie boy I have always been lol

Since I don't have racing to talk about I guess I will have to delve back into my dark deep mysterious past, or at least a story of fucking up at an earlier time

Picture a smallish but stout 14 year old boy riding his ten speed through the mean streets of a dusty prairie town, riding with the certain daring do that only dumb ass teenager can muster. I was cycling to visit a friend and it being down hill I was not wasting any time, approaching an intersection and a hard left turn. I judged the traffic or lack there of and decided to throw my bike into a hard left lean and head into the corner with all the speed I could, about half way through the turn that nasty bitch of a bicycle decided to teach me a lesson. The axle that the pedals attach to snapped in half and down I went hard into the asphalt and hard into the road rash.

Some passing motorists stopped and offered to help but even then understanding the need for manly ego I politely declined and limped bleeding the block and a half to my buddies abode. Where I did get some sympathy but only till they figured out I wasn't dying then like all boys do they had a good laugh.

The worst was my mom wouldn't even come and pick me up I had to walk the mile and a half home.

Thank Dog I didn't have helicopter parents, they taught me to be mentally tough and self reliant.

But there was hard lessons between here and there and a lot of bruises and scars.

Yobama Ima let you finish but George Bush was the worst president ever.... just sayin

Okay First a spelling correction apparently I have been spelling her name wrong and she is quite miffed with me but here goes

The Devon Cream Update

Short and sweet she didn't run this week as all the 2 year olds were scratched by the judges. Apparently 2 year old horses are like teenagers in that they break easily. So since the track was wet and shitty from the non-stop rain they pulled the children off the track. This was also the last race in Saskatoon Saskatchewan and she will be coming home for a few weeks before heading off to Alberta to race. The trainer has promised to do his job this time so since he is cheaper we will be giving him a few more weeks. He will not be the trainer in Alberta

Prairie Ruff n Tuff is in Alberta to be schooled in the fine art of harness racing with a new trainer and hopefully he will be ready to run when the season starts out there. Otherwise he will be coming home in shame and ignominy and you know how hard that is for teenagers to bare that

Okay its time once again for the Deavon Creme update

She finished a strong 4th and looks to be ready to move up the ladder to racing in Alberta or British Columbia, she has 1 more week with the bad trainer and then on to greener pastures.

Prairie Ruff n Tuff has already moved on to greener pastures and has a new trainer and hopefully a chance at becoming a race horse. The driver being different then the trainer told us that the horses were poorly trained and even only half broke. I wonder what he did with all my money?

On a schadenfreude moment the trainer just cost one of my fellow race fellows $ 80,000.00 american type greenbacks. He was training their horse and it was a good horse and all it had to do was finish in 2:02 and run the last 1/4 in 29 seconds. Idiot boy went out and ran the guts out of the horse in first 3/4's and left it with nothing to finish even my horse beat him he finished 5th behind Deavon Creme and lost the sale. Best part of the schadenfreude one of the owners of the horse is his father in law

So on it goes for another week, wish me luck!
