Default Did you get a Horse Racing present?
I know I'm not the only person here that received a present that had a horse racing theme - what did you get this year?


I got a lawn jockey

I've been collecting the Woodford Derby bottle series - that's probably my favorite bourbon but I got a bottle of Booker's as a present so I'm looking forward to enjoying that.

Danzig - I've got the Bay Meadows clock hanging in my office, too!

My 3 year old got a Great Racehorses coloring book from a guy I work with, 30 horses from Darley Arabian to Ghostzapper, complete w/ a summary of the horses life and accomplishments on the racetrack.

Who says there are no new racefans?

At this stage of our lives we can afford to buy our own ponies, and we could dye them lime green and royal

every year when I was a kid I asked for a pony...and my grandfather told me every year that if my dad built a place for it to live he would buy me one. Needless to say that never happened. Which is probably why I bought myself a pony last summer...I'd consider all ridiculous over the top offers on the foal she is going to drop soon

My 7 yr old son gave me a framed painting he did of some jockeys on horseback in colorful silks. That may not sound great, but actually it was quite good and will be hung in my office tomorrow.

I also got two books, but I get a couple of those every year.
