    Here is one from Hew Haw, telecast on RFD TV yesterday, It was originally aired in 1976. Two hicks lounging on hay bales, man and a woman. Man to woman “How come you like to read National Geographic?” Woman to man–“Same reason you like to look at the pictures in Playboy Magazine. I like to dream about places I will never go.”

    Yay! I see that our boy Coz is set to run at Belmont. I hope this means he figured out that if he’s in front he won’t have to eat dirt. Also, just because the other horses may have been slowing down, he didn’t have to. Anyway, its a learning process and I’m thinking he wouldn’t be entered if his peeps didn’t think he had a chance. Even if he didn’t , I know he will continue to learn and will get better each time he runs. I’m looking forward to seeing him. Also Hi to Ziconic. Here’s hoping that perhaps somewhere towards the end of this season he can run at least once and get his hooves wet.

    Dear Coz,
    I find myself worrying about you. As I always have baby princess Z always in my prayers as I seek great comfort from that. Because in praying for her to be with Christ as my eyes are closed I always see her and know she is alright. This morning my prayers were about you too as have been many times. Our pastors sermon this morning was titled. “Don’t you care if we’re Drowning.” In Mark 4 35-40. There was a storm the wind and the waves beat against the ship. They went to where Christ was in the ship and asked him Master carest thou not that we perish. And he arose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, Be still. And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are you so fearful. How is it that thou have no faith. And they feared exceedingly and said to one another. What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him.
    Coz, God is giving me the faith to call on him first. I pray so hard that you will be fine and come out of the race safely on Wednesday. I am a work in progress, but I surely am calling on him these days to take care of you. As I know how dangerous it is when any horse or jockey steps on the race track. Coz, I am praying so hard that God will be riding with you Wednesday and always take care of you. Love, Peggy

      Peggy – I too pray every single night for the blessings God has given to Zenny, Cozmic One and Ziconic thanking Him for their safety and for giving them good owners. Glad to hear that I am not the only one praying for these magnificent animals. God Bless you!

        Christine I do pray so hard for them. It’s so important. So glad you do too.
        I always love to see some of the jockeys looking up with I know their prayers. You can tell with some of them. Brings tears to my eyes.

    Dear Shirlee, I was very proud of Texas Red yesterday. I think he might have needed the race. Next time. I was pulling for Speightster and him. Speightster was just talking to me I think. Just a huge huge fan of his family, his Papa, Mama, Gone West Danzig, Northern Dancer. Both sides. I have seen Speightstown so it was sort of sentimental for me.

      Peggy,
      We all have our special ones. You should be very proud of Speightster. Think we will hear more about him. He comes from a great family and is indeed well bred.

    Dear Max.As country folk my mother and her cousin used to collect the “useful gifts” for the garden.My grandparents were wonderful gardeners.I haven’t looked at the racing results yet.I left you a message on previous blog about Clive returning to Scotland on the Friday after the accident and not coming back until the Monday.I always thought one of the main purposes of Kauto moving was to be nearer to Clive’s home.When he needed him most he wasn’t even there.
    I’d love to have seen your horse guest tucking in.You have peeps and a gardener Wow!!!Hugs Sheena.

      I would have liked to see the pies disappear too. Our backs were turned when it happened. I was told later by his owner that the horse especially likes strawberries, chilled big strawberries as treats. I guess that when he saw his chance, he took it and looked all innocent after the deed was done. When asked if he ate those pies, the horse nodded his head and replied – neigh! We all laughed.
      From what I’ve read, Smith came to see Kauto when he heard about the accident and only left when they appeared to have things under control. When Kauto went to the hospital, Smith returned and was with him at the end. The whole thing is heartbreaking. Kauto deserved a lot more time in retirement.

    Coz, Have a safe trip on Wed. and remember we are all rooting for you. It seems as if you’ve come a long way since your first race a few months back. Don’t worry…all of us go through life with bumps in the road. You’re still learning …and also this… life is good!

    Coz, I’ve been watching the times from your workouts and thought you’d been trying again soon. Our thoughts and love are with you. Do well and stay safe. Your mom will always be proud of you, her firstborn.

    Dear Coz,
    It’s hard to imagine how any horse could have more loving supporters than you do! We’ll be watching and hoping and sending prayers and best wishes for a safe trip. Run like the wind and have fun out there! <3

    Dear Max, Have you heard if The Big Beast is OK. Was so looking forward to seeing him yesterday, but if he wasn’t 100% glad they scratched him.

      Have not heard anything other than he’s got a sore front left hoof. Don’t know details. He’s at Belmont. Might be talking to Coz and Ziconic?

    July 8 is going to be quite a day. Besides Coz running in Race 7, Pennmarydel is scheduled to run in the 6th race at Delaware. It is his second race also. Here’s hoping both these boys do well and come home swiftly and safely.

      Zowie,
      Thanks for the info about Penn. Been watching him for 2 years now. He did pretty well in his first race. Hope he runs like his brother, Barbaro. So glad the Jacksons have been patient with him as the Mosses have been with Coz. Safe trip to both of these big boys. Win or lose we will always love them.

    July 6 Cherokee Devotional

    He was the storyteller relating tribal feats and conflicts with brave men and women overcoming every foe, climbing the highest mountains and swimming the swiftest streams. Some of the listeners were very young and aware of technological advances they were being taught in school. One asked respectfully but knowingly, “Grandfather, tell us about computers.”
    “I am a computer,” the old man answered. “My body is a place of business where the work of circulation goes on all the time. The brain is in charge of all workings with more storage than a block-size building. It directs the entire business-but it is nothing if it is not connected to the Mainframe. If it has nothing but the worldly knowledge, it is no better than a mere human being. Connected to the Mainframe, it is unlimited.”

    I am but one man. I am the voice of my people. Whatever their hearts are, that I talk.

    Just saw on the Forum that Raj Maragh will be up on Coz. Think he is a very patient jockey and have not heard anything about him being “whip happy.” But the ‘Dratted Johnny V” has a mount in the same race!

    Dear Sheena,

    Mondays almost as bad as a baff…lol! 36 is a lot of fish to catch! Well done, Monty! The pics of the christening were beautiful. I loved the one of Charlotte in her pram. She is a little doll! Little Katy is so sick right not. Poor little dog, just heart-wrenching. Zoe seems to be doing a lot better, bless her little heart. You know Diane is taking great care of her. I didn’t see the pic of Fubu’s Mom and Grandmother. Will look for it! Serena is just amazing, isn’t she? What an athlete! Turtle-turtle in your sock. Whatever you do, don’t take a baff! lol.

    Tomorrow is my birthday. 63!!! Still can’t figure out how I got to be that age! All I want for my birthday is my darling boy to come home safe and sound on Wednesday. Love for Zenny, Coz, Zic and my forever Z Princess fill my heart with gladness everyday. Such great races Saturday. Lady Ely was stupendous. Many surprises though. Hope Bolo is okay. Spent Thursday getting my drivers license renewed. Couldn’t wait to get a new photo since I weighed fifty lbs. more in my old one. In my new one I look like I’ve been dead a week. The sweet young lady said maybe it would look better when it was in color. I inherited that pale complexion from my Dutch ancestors. The Lord has blessed us with rain, rain and more rain. Every afternoon we have a nice shower. Blueberries have run amok. So far I have picked 30 gallons and I have dreams about them. I hope everyone is feeling well. I sure do appreciate your kind good wishes for my health. I am feeling a lot more optimistic and know that the Lord won’t give me more than I can handle.

      Vicki,
      Happy Birthday you sweet young thing! Some of us here on the Blog have you by several years. Think perhaps love of Zenny and each of our Special Horses keeps us up and going. Blessing of good health and happiness to you and your family.

    Dear Barbara not a day goes by that I don’t miss my Mom. I speak to her everyday and that gives me comfort. Especially when I pick those blueberries. That was always something we did together. My thoughts and prayers go winging to you.
