Here’s the magnificently-regal daughter of Medaglia d’Oro (who also sired the Black-Eyed Susan winner Payton d’Oro) in the post parade. I believe that's the famous Pancho accompanying her, he who traveled half-way around the world with Curlin.
All four legs off the ground—floating across the Pimlico dirt.
Crossing the finish line in front.
A boy and his horse...I wonder if she’s taken by that Asmussen braided mane, or prefers the more free-flowing mane Wiggins allowed? She looks to have shaken out the neat plaits at race’s end.
Thanks, Laurie!
When she was transferred to the Asmussen barn one of the first things I thought was "I hope Pancho is her pony". lol.
ReplyDeleteOften the jocks will undo the braids closest to them so that they have some mane to hang onto if needed.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea that she now has Pancho as her chaperone.
First thing I asked folks at the Alibi breakfast on Thursday was whether Pancho had travelled with her. The moment I heard he was there, I knew she would just fine. :-)
