Derby

Well my horse I picked to win the Derby didn't have a good trip but what a great story on the horse who won! I was going for Rock Your World, but he couldn't get out of the pack and get a clear run. The winner, Medina Spirit was bought for $1000 at the yearling sale- what an incredible race he ran! And competing against colts who sold for over a million bucks. Gotta love an underdog with Spirit- well named horse 😎

Speaking of Derby....

I would like you to meet DLH Durashine Peppy, aka Derby. 

Yup! Belle graced us with another colt on Kentucky Derby day. Interestingly enough, Belle's sire, Durable Shine, was also nicknamed Derby, so it is a fitting family name for this black colt- who has no white on him at all.

I have a bit of a dilemma as to the foaling contest as nobody got it really right. Carol was closest with day and time, and Frank had the closest guess of color and gender. So I think they both get a prize! 

At first I though smoky black, but I think he is just black like Moondance.

More pics and videos to come tomorrow as I am waiting for Shayla to email them. He is so adorable!
