Alex had tonight off, but K over at
Kiss Me I'm Irish got me feeling nostalgic about our beginnings, so I dug out some photos not previously shown here :-) Enjoy!
Alex's Daddy:
|
Afleet Alex
Winner of the 2005 Preakness & Belmont |
Alex's Mommy:
|
Colonial Glitter
Winner of the Bourbonette Breeders Cup (by 10+ lengths!) |
Below are photos I randomly found and ordered of Alex during his racing days. He never broke his maiden, so there aren't any win photos :-( But if he had, he might not be mine :-)

Alex during his time in Florida:
|
"Stall rest is boooooring" |
|
"Look at my pretty profile" |
|
Bath Time! |
|
"Hey you over there...whatcha doin?" |
|
Round Pen Time |
|
Having a roll... |
|
"Oh my gosh, did you know I'm off stall rest?!" |
|
Sleepy Pony |
|
Noms |
|
"Come on, I want you to run so I can chase you!" |
|
"Whatcha doin?" |
|
"I am NOT annoying the donkey... promise" |
Alex's Trip to Kentucky:
|
All wrapped up and ready to go |
|
Getting on the van, rolling in style :-) |
|
Spending the first hour with Alex in his new home :-) |
|
Alex surveying his new paddock |
|
"Kentucky grass... nom nom nom!" |
It's amazing how he has changed since his arrival and yet stayed the same in some ways :-)

ReplyDeleteAh how awesome! I found race pics of some of my project babies but can't find any of River--someday I'll go on a serious stalker campaign of his past. :D

ReplyDeleteI have found that the least successful racehorses make the best riding horses :)
