1. Sierra Leone is forever young and fierceness personified.

   1. Oh, you mean the horse. For a moment there I thought, these Third World Chambers of Commerce were starting to get out of hand.

2. The first three , I am hoping . Will find out shortly .

3. By a nostril! Now THAT’S horse racing!

4. What a wonderful collection of awesome, well-muscled horses! My heritage includes a ranching tradition, but I am, less fortunately, an urban trail horse rider, unlike my competent southern Alberta first cousins.

   That said, amazing horses were showed at the 31 Stampede parades and barns that I attended and races at other venues in Calgary over years. I just love the excitement of chuckwagon races (different wagon horses, who like to run with horse friends, plus the more independent outrider horses).

   Among the Kentucky Derby winners, I remember Triple Crown winner in 1973, Secretariat (1970-1989), with a french Canadian trainer and jockey. I was at home for 1st baby with 2 TV channels, so enjoyed the excitement of his races leading up to the triple crown, especially Belmont.
