Mission Accomplished

I have stated numerous times that it is tough to make money racing at Canterbury. Therefore, my goal this year was to simply have fun, win a few races and not get spanked financially. With the couple winners of late, it looks like we will be ok assuming we can unload some of the current stock within the next month. The last 3 horses I bought were strictly for racing at Canterbury. I don’t think any of these can be too successful elsewhere.

It has worked out well that for the last couple of photos, we had a good turnout in the circle and it made for enjoyable evenings. It was especially gratifying last week when No Lip won to re-connect with some family members of one of the founding partners of WG. I have to keep reminding myself that it is nights like Thursday that help offset some of the frustration/embarrassment I go through when a horse runs up the track.

As I write this, I cannot predict what will happen after Canterbury this year. I have a few thoughts rattling around my head, but nothing firm at this point. For now, I will enjoy the next 5 weeks of racing here and we just may be able to squeak out another photo or two.
