Life is constantly changing.  You will never know what is right around the corner.  Good or bad, you just have to deal with the cards you are dealt.  Yesterday morning was a day like that.  I got an unexpected phone call early in the morning that brought me emotional stress thru out my day.  But I sucked it up and re-gained my focus everytime I went out on the track to ride my races.  I also had a lot of support from my mom and a few close friends.(you know who you are - Thank you!)  I feel so empowered when sitting on these magnificent thoroughbreds that I get to ride each and every day.  They give me peace and strength all at the same time.  I rode three races with two winners.  One race being the $50,000 Mister Diz Stakes on "Bens Cat"(undefeated 5 for 5) for King Leatherbury.  Winning is such an unexplainable feeling but it made for a perfect ending to my day.  See you at the races!
