Derby's Pictures

Last summer, you may have read about Derby's Day at the Track (see the Archives, July 2005) in which I promised to post Derby's winning pictures. I apologize for the long wait. The picture below shows Derby crossing the finish line - you'll notice the sheer lack of contenders in the field of ten horses!

Derby Cat is a filly bred by my husband's parents. Todd and I spent many hours training and working with her. At one point she was sent to a trainer who could do nothing with her. When we got her back we started riding her until we found Gary, who took her and raced her.

This was Derby's first win and only her second race. It was also the jockey's first win, so her whole family turned out as well as ours and Gary's. In the winner's circle, as you can see, there is quite a crowd. I'm on the left wearing purple, standing next to the rodeo queens. Todd is behind me in the white cowboy hat.

That was an exciting day!
