Newmarket

Love this photo stolen form another blog showing what it's all about. Thick grass, questionable footing, what's underneath for the hoofs to trip on?  Something ahead/boogey man/woman possibly? If horse goes straight and true what's better than to be on board?  If horse would duck and jive, bolt to rear, where's center of gravity of rider, can she hold? Things that go through the mind every sec. when one is up.  Lovely young lady riding at Newmarket.  Photo gives exact feeling of what it is to be on a race horse.
Training:  Weather, in contrast to England, continues virtually untrainable.  30 mph wind days alternate with cold rain and mud.  Horses continue doing their riderless work, looking good and getting in better condition.
