Here’s a photo I snapped of Joellen & Asher in the Emerald Downs parking lot when we still had (or thought we had) a reason to be there. Turns out, we could have just as well stayed home since we McLaren ended up scratching from the race. He’ll be fine and we’ll probably try and give him a good work this weekend and run him in a race a week from Sunday. None-the-less, we were both pretty dissapointed. It’s been a lot of time, energy, emotional build-up and money going into this horse and we’re just chomping at the bit (so to speak) to see him run. On the bright side, Asher was FANTASTIC today and slept almost the entire drive up. Now that’s something always worth celebrating :)
