Once there was a lonely racetrack, and no one had raced on it for twenty five years. The track was very curvy with a lot of loops. It had jumps over lakes, and it was the hardest training facility in the world. This was why it had to close down. The track was in a city in Québec.

    Many of the horses in this year’s Kentucky Derby were never sure things to make the field and so the focus of their three year old campaigns has been on qualifying for the run for the roses. But a few horses came off of well regarded two year old campaigns and their confident trainers took their time, picked their spots, and now hope to have a fresh horse rounding into form at just the right time. The third race after a horse gets a few months of rest is often seen as their best effort. This isn’t always the case, as some horses run great fresh, but generally speaking the first race back is not the best, and the third race back is the sweet spot after a horse has dusted off the cobwebs, but before it starts to wear down.…

    “It was a such pretty day that day, it was a really picture perfect sky, blue skies, the marathon feeling is that everybody is really upbeat and excited,” said Melinda Arredondo, when describing the 117th Boston Marathon on April 15th of 2013. Carlos and Melinda Arredondo stood at the finish line of the marathon with 400 small American flags to hand out to finished runners in honor of their two sons, Alex and Brian, who had passed away. Alex Arredondo was killed in a sniper attack in Iraq at 20 years old while serving for the United States in 2004 and just a few years later, Brian Arredondo, committed suicide from his struggle with grief. To Carlos and Melinda not only did these flags represented their national pride, but also the love and strength of their family, which they wanted to see spread all over the finish line of the Boston Marathon. But, just as Carlos stood fidgeting with his last flag, contemplating how to best honor his country and sons with this flag, he heard a thunderous boom, and the beaming spirits of Boston were instantaneously camouflaged with smoke.…
