Dani's Victory having a bath in the spring of 2019.
As anyone who owns thoroughbred racehorses knows, it is a tough business.
So many things can go wrong with these finely-tuned athletes, both mentally and physically. Most of them love to run and some try too hard. Others don't want to race, and no-one can persuade them otherwise. They have to want to compete.
We racehorse owners can have long periods without a win.
But yesterday Dani's Victory, a horse that we own 50% of, came first across the finish line with jockey Daisuke Fukumoto. The jockey gave the horse an excellent ride and the horse did a great job.
We were thrilled to be in the Winner's Circle again.
And Dani's Victory is very pleased with himself. He enjoyed our visit this morning to congratulate him and the trainer, John Charalambous, as well as all of his barn staff. Dani's Victory loved the mints and carrots.
As readers know, I use my experience and knowledge of the thoroughbred horse-racing business, from an owner's point of view, in writing the Meg Sheppard Mystery Series.
I'm writing the fourth book in the series. The third will be launched in November.
If you haven't read the first two, here are the links: What Happened to Frank? and Over Frank's Dead Body
Here's the race:
