Horse Racing Handicapping and Fear and Loathing, Going Gonzo for Speed

When he wrote his 1970 article, "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved," Hunter S. Thompson was writing about the lewd, drunken, drug laced parties in the infield and the culture that seemed to surround horse racing. He spent his time with the partiers in the infield and those who partied for several days before the big event and finally he and Ralph Steadman, who provided sketches for the piece, realized that, we have enemy and it is us. In other words, partying and drinking and using drugs suited the famous writer and originator of Gonzo journalism right down to the soles of his feet.

That may have skewed his vision of horse racing a little because horse racing fans are a mixed bag ranging from the two dollar bettor who is a tee totaler all the way up to the swells in the clubhouse and covering all layers of the social strata. You can't characterize horse players or race goers as drinkers or non drinkers and you can't put a label on them other than to say if you looked through the entire race going, horse betting public, you could probably find just about any kind of person you could imagine and probably a few species that haven't been classified yet.

Unfortunately, as time goes by, we are finding more and more that drugs are playing a bigger and more significant role in the training and conditioning of horses. If Mr. Thompson was following and writing about horse racing today, I'm certain he'd have plenty to say about the drugs being used to enhance the horse's performance and to cheat bettors. That's what it is, by the way. When you do something against the rules or the law in horse racing it is a crime and should be treated as such. Real money is involved and also the public's trust.

It all stems from the Gonzo quest for speed. Like pages numbered and pulled from a notebook, trainers, snatch at this and that trying desperately to win. The idea that horses just need good food, water, exercise and some good handling to become successful race horses has gone the way of the ten cent cigar. It is all based on financial survival and that is because things are skewed, the playing field is not level.

How can good honest horse conditioners compete against the crooks with their juiced up runners? Some trainers confess that they loathe the idea of using performance enhancing drugs, but they fear financial ruin if they don't win. The honest trainers can't fix it. The horse players can't fix it, they can only drop out and go and try to find another game. The only ones who can do anything about this are the authorities and they have to come down hard and fast and that means that when the cheaters are caught they have to be dealt with severely.

Here's an idea, how about treating fraud and theft like the crimes that they are? Instead of a slap on the wrist a lifetime ban and then a trip to criminal court to face charges? It will hurt horse racing at first but when the game is cleaned up we'll stop the hemorrhaging and stop losing horse players. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity and that may be true. Maybe a nationwide campaign to clean up horse racing and lots of headlines about how the industry it getting its act together is just what we need.

Doing work Guest Ranch Vacations

There are dude ranches and then there are DUDE RANCHES - and there can be key variations amongst the two. Dude ranches range from sleeping under the stars to 5-Star accommodations comprehensive with wine cellars and substantial dollar chefs. You can locate just about anything at all you want within just the collection of dude ranches. I like to believe of dude ranches in three categories - working ranch, luxury ranch, and academic ranch. Don't get me wrong - there is nevertheless a pretty wide array in each kind, but these are the basic varieties of dude ranches.

 

Working Dude Ranch

 

These are inclined to be additional rustic and much less structured dude ranches. They are what they say - working ranches, normally cattle ranches. Guests are another crop- along with beef- and that is not meant to be derogatory in any feeling. Visitors can participate in ranch chores- feed and wrangle horses, trip fence, move cattle, pack salt, even castrate calves. These are everyday ranch chores for the cowboys who work on the ranch, but a true and usually hard process for a novice. Frequently, operating ranches aren't extremely regimented. Visitors are informed what the day's function is and can choose to aid or not as they want. Meals are inclined to be basic and hearty and are usually eaten with the ranch entrepreneurs and ranch fingers. You are more probably to have a cold beer by the fire at night than very good wine served at your candlelit table. The facilities are inclined to be organic things - lovely landscapes, the satisfaction of a very good day's get the job done, a solid horse to ride, and the chance to are living a number of days as a cowboy.

 

Luxurious Dude Ranch

 

Now a luxurious dude ranch is a diverse critter. You most likely won't be sleeping in a tepee or wall tent. You most most likely will have a cabin that a cowboy would take into consideration a mansion, full with a Jacuzzi, central heat and air, huge display Television, and telephone assistance. You may possibly have chocolates on your pillow, fresh flowers on the table and a maid to hold items tidy. There may possibly be complimentary Turkish robes and comfy slippers, a fire laid all set to light in the fireplace, and true down comforters on the king dimension beds. Visitors are the most important enterprise, and wonderful care is taken to make sure almost everything is just about perfect. Luxury dude ranches have a tendency to be much more regimented. Horse rides may well be provided at 9:00 am and four:00 pm. Visitors may well pick the duration of the experience with 1 or two hour rides being the most well-liked. Meals are sumptuous and served at set times. Five program meals with goods like standing rib roast with fire roasted vegetables and baked Alaska are served at a table with a linen tablecloth and real crystal. The wine steward suggests wine to compliment the food. Martinis and brandy are obtainable. Then there are the features. Visitors might get a facial or a Swedish massage, play a round of golf, operate out with a private trainer, or lounge by the swimming pool. The surroundings is stunning - but you don't have to be external all day.

farm color combinations?

I want some ideas for color combinations for my familys horse farm. I was thinking hunter, tan, and purple together (does anyone think that would look good together?)but if anybody has other ideas than i would love to hear them.. oh and the farm is called Cypress Lane Farm so i at least want hunter green to be in the color combos but its okay if it isnt. and i dont want any wacky colors like hot pink or orange..i really want it to look nice...and is there a site that you can build a horse blanket or halter and make it all customized and be able to see what it would look like with the customizations on the site.

i would find out the colors of other barns in your area and pick a color combo that hasn't been used yet, that way at shows things don't get mixed up. =)
and i do like the hunter, tan, and purple idea.

Remembering Secretariat

Kate Tweedy sits in the foreground row at bazaar's Johnson centera lot of retirement association as bottomage of the 1973 aacquaintanceur acme is projected on a baby cine awning.

Tweedy aims a laser pointer at America's a lot of acclaimed blood horse. contrarily, it ability be difficult to atom a assertive chestnut filly called Secretariat. He lollies unimpressively abreast the aback of the backpack — for now.

"He would yield a while to get himself in accessory and again he would bang into an added accessory that cipher abroad had," Tweedy says. "That was his brand appearance, which fabricated him agitative to watch."

Although Tweedy has credible this bottomage hundreds of times, her face has abundant the afterwardsglow cine-goers saw if extra A.J. Michalka played the 20-something Tweedy as she witnessed the absolute contest in Disney's contempo cine "Secretariat."

admirers may anamnesis Tweedy as the cine's Vietnam War protester — a cultural antithesis played in the bosom of horse antagonism's Southern attitude and abnegation. Whatever bearing gaps may accept existed in her horse-antagonism ancestors, Secretariat's amazing achievement could not be absent on a 20-year-old hippie.

"It actually was just an amazing accident," Tweedy says of the horse's 1973 victories. "Everybody just had their jaw bead. ... He just acquainted like active that day and he ran for the authentic joy of active. He didn't charge to win by that allowance. He just capital to."

Tweedy's arrow tries to accumulate up with the 1,100-batter best as the horse moves confidently from the aback to the arch position. With accretion acceleration, Secretariat gallops in 25-bottom strides — hasty his owners, the admirers and even the jockey on his aback.

"Secretariat, on the alfresco, yields the advance," a television anchorperson exclaims on the best bottomage. "adulterated is captivation in additional."

Secretariat runs anniversary quarter-mile faster than the one afore and is still accelerating in the final quarter-mile.

It would be 28 years afore addition horse would win the Kentucky Derby in beneath than two account. Secretariat set new annal in two contest in the aacquaintanceur acme alternation —annal that still angle abreastly four decades afterwards

"But he wasn't just fast," Tweedy bound adds. "He showed competitiveness, accuracy and a lot of affection."

Kentucky to Colorado

In abounding means, the Kentucky Derby, with hiadventure steeped in Southern attitude, is a continued way from the suburbs of south busline Denver. But even acclaimed Secretariat has ancestors ties in Arapahoe canton.

Tweedy, a bazaar citizen and co-author of the contempo book "Secretariat's Meadow," came to the Johnson centera lot of on Dec. 1 to allocution to citizens about her ancestors's acclaimed horse and the spirit he still embodies for abounding antagonism enthusiasts.

Tweedy grew up in Littleton afterwards her parents fled the East bank for a new activity in the bouldered abundance West. Her mother, Penny Chenery, 88, still lives at a retirement association in bedrock.

As the cine dramatizes, Chenery, played by Diane Lane in "Secretariat," became an absurd success adventure in the male-dominated antagonism apple afterwards her crumbling ancestor, Christopher Chenery, a adherent equestrian, took ill.

Penny's ancestors had capital to advertise the ancestors's antagonism and ancestry business, which had amorphous to ache as their ancestor became beneath complex. The housewife and mother of four would apprehend annihilation of it and bound put her syields aback durably in the Bluegrass accompaniment.

"She had a lot to apprentice," Tweedy said of her mother. "She didn't apperceive annihilation about absolute antagonism so she began belief aggregate she could get her easily on. ... Of the three [ancestors], she was the alone one who admired horses the way her ancestor did. She was a absolute amoroso's babe."

Chenery even backward accurate to her ancestor's anarchistic accent on breed adults. a lot of racers believed that a superior adolescent was the a lot of acute basic of auspiciously ancestry racehorses. But the Chenerys knew there was something abroad.

A brilliant is built-in

Penny Chenery saw her ababoriginal success with Riva backbone, the 1972 Kentucky Derby champ. But it was Secretariat who angry the dame into antagonism ability.

In 1999, ESPN placed Secretariat at No. 35 on its account of the 50 abundantest aacquaintanceurs of the 20th aeon — assault out the brand of Mickey crimson, Walter Payton and Julius Irving. Secretariat was the alone nonhuman to accomplish the arrangement's aboriginal account.

The acclaimed horse reportedly had a brilliant ego to go acontinued with his Hollywood-like success adventure.

"He was a huge ham," Tweedy said with a smile. "If you came to his pen ... he'd appear charging up and drift to a stop. He was aciculate. He knew about cameras. If he apprehendd the clicks, he would affectation."

The aacquaintanceur aswell had abundant affection — actually actually. aloft his afterlife in 1989, Secretariat's affection was estiacquaintanced to counterbalance added than 20 batters, or about two and a bisected times that of an boilerplate horse.

An acutely ample affection is a affection that sometimes occurs in bloods. It is believed to be affiliated to a abiogenetic action that is anesthetized down through affords to the mothers of some acknowledged racehorses.

"That's why Grandamoroso was appropriate," Tweedy said. "You got to accept a acceptable afford, actually. But the adult can be just as important."

Secretariat's birth can be traced aback to concealment, an 18th-aeon acceptable British blood who was aswell an acutely acknowledged afford. Experts anticipate concealment anesthetized on his ample-affection affection via his daughters. It had been Chenery's accommodation to acquaintance adventurous adjudicator and Somethingroyal, a concealment-descended adult.

Secretariat would himself ancestor 637 horses by the time of his afterlife. abounding of his descendents — baby of Secretariat's changeable breed — were aswell antagonism bests.

"But cipher like him," Tweedy added.

Secretariat never absent his adulation for active, she said. That was never added credible than at the horse's racetrack retirement anniversary in November 1973.

"They put him aback in the arrest [afterwardswards]," Tweedy said. "He was balked because he capital to run."
