Horse of the day

Didn’t know about this. He was a great one

Parked out uncovered the last half mile on the small track in the wet and wind, dead game.

Wow, that’s in New Orleans. It’s not the oldest, but it’s pretty old. (I don’t know anything about horses or horse racing; I just got curious and looked it up.)

World record holding trotter Sebastian K. Check at how unhappy this horse is to have to sit second in the backstretch and his smooooth rock-solid gait as he powers through the stretch. That is a thing of beauty

When i was a little boy this was on TV. Rocking tune and lyrics …if you can suffer it for long enough , notive the exceptional quality of dubbing into English. Oh what fun we had watching this.

Funny… started watching and “a horse is a horse of course of course” came right to mind. Can’t have seen that in 30 years at least. The connection of music to memory is pretty amazing.

Yeah. I never even watched the show, but that song is seared into my memory all the same. I have no explanation.
