A Head Bob
Did I Zoom out of the five hole in the 2nd race at Hialeah Park.
In his first race last year the horse stumbled and finished up the track. He's not a pretty horse but he likes to run. I've carried the halter for this horse while his owner walks him out to the track. He's a handful. The horse is sound, tries, but still needs to learn what it is to be professional at the track. he's made great strides but his record should be better
Ditto for short broke well and was ahead by a length in a race that lasted a little more than 12 seconds. If he had seen the outside horse flying at the end he might have dug in a little bit more but it wasn't to be. I think the jockey thought he had won the race and eased up a jump too soon.
Randy, the owner/trainer was disappointed and I really would have liked to cash a win ticket at 6-1, but hitting the board wasn't a total loss.
Usually the horses that hit the board are tested for drugs or other banned substances, today Ditto maybe got a pass because he likes to kick at the poor soul trying to get a specimen and just about everyone else he doesn't know on a first name basis.
There's only one week left in the meet and some horses will go to Oklahoma and Remmington Park, others may go back for a little r&r on the farm and others will hope they have some live two year olds that can compete for futurity money that is the backbone of the quarter horse scene.
Hialeah Park isn't Ruidoso, Los Alamitos, or Remmington when it comes to the quarters but it could be.
