Thanks for including my last picks (although JJ Yeley did SO well for
me again!!) I was in the middle of watching the race on Sunday when I
remembered that I hadn't sent in my picks for this week. Too much
torturing of THT by the horses, trust me!!! Trying to get 2 school
horses going well and riding my own have made my latest favorite hobby
sleeping!!! Spent the majority of yesterday out in the lovely
Nor'Easter hitting the East Coast, shuttling horses out into cold, wet
rain to muck out their stalls, and then reversing that procedure to
get them in out of the sleet/snow/freezing rain, etc. that was our
lovely weather yesterday!!! Took a couple of hours to dry off myself,
eat something, watch the race, and then back out into the cold, wet
evening to bed the buggers down for the night. As I have said before,
I often wonder if I am the torturer or the torturee! ;-)

(who enjoyed another 10 hour day at the Veterinary Hospital where it
was warm and dry, after getting up at 4 am to feed, turn-out, and muck
out after horses in more driving rain and wind!!! Bed looks really
good right now, but I have to finish the federal taxes tonight!!!)

I appreciate your thoughts but there is no real need for thanks. All
regular players get three or four weeks before they are dropped for lack of
interest.

More importantly.....
I am what you may call a city boy but of course I really like horses as
man's second best friend. When I go to a place where I know they have a
horse or more I stop at the grocery and get carrots or apples to hand feed
them.

Which do they like better or is better for them? Carrots or apples?

Well, it depends on the horse, really. My boy is a retired racehorse,
and when I got him 5 years ago, he wouldn't eat ANY treats from me.
He now eats carrots, but turns up his nose at apples. He will NOT eat
anything pepperminty, and he actually spits the peppermint candies out
if you give him one! But his PERSONAL favorite is sugar cubes!! He
turns into a big mush for one of those empty caloried treats!!!

in sugar companies! ;-))

Feeding a 1/20 ounce sugar cube to a 1000 lb. horse seems a bit gay.

Well, he was gay 3 times in his racing career!!! He was first loser 3
times, and second loser 3 times also (he made about $57K in
winnings!!)

You wouldn't believe what a schmuck he turns into for that stupid
sugar cube. 1000lbs of quivering jello all for a stupid little
cube!!!

He really does like carrots, but in our freezer of Western MA in the
winter, carrots don't keep very well in the barn; except for getting
wet, there isn't much you can do to sugar cubes to ruin them!
