JUST FINISHED WATCHING "60 MINUTES" - THEY HAD A SEGMENT ON "ROSIE" GIRL....THE JOCKEY!
NOW ROSIE IS 25 BUT IN THE THOROUGHBRED HORSE RACING WORLD....YOUR STILL A "GIRL" IF YOUR A JOCKEY.
NOW ROSIE HAS BEEN RIDING "FAST" SINCE THE AGE OF 7......WINNING SOME PONEY RACES.
AH SHE IS PERFECTLY AT HOME, IS HER FULL SELF SHE SAYS, WHEN RIDING FAST HORSES........HORSES CLIPPING ALONG AT 40 MILES AN HOUR.
WELLLLL......SHE'S A GIRL AFTER MY OWN HEART. GOT TO SAY I'M AT HOME ALSO ON A FAST HORSE.
AND TODAY MY HORSE GOLDIE, EVEN AT THE AGE OF 13 (MARCH 27) WAS FAST.....SHE WAS REALLY FEELING HER OATS AS THEY SAY [AND NEVER HAD ANY] ..... SHE WAS JUST WANTING TO GO FOR A NUMBER OF "FAST RUNS" TODAY, ONE WAS NOT ENOUGH.
I CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND ROSIE GIRL.......THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT BEING ON A FAST HORSE; I GUESS IT'S A HIGH FOR US FAST RIDING HORSE LOVERS.
NOW ROSIE IS IN A VERY MALE DOMINATED WORLD....SAD TO SAY SHE GETS "JEERED AT" - TOLD TO GO HOME AND HAVE BABIES, TOLD TO STAY IN THE KITCHEN; YEST IT COMES FROM THE STANDS, FROM SOME PEOPLE IN THE STANDS, AND SAD TO SAY FROM SOME MALE JOCKEYS.
BUT ROSIE IS DOING WHAT SHE LOVES, TAKING THE SPILLS AND THE LOSES WITH IT ALL.
YET NOW AT AGE 25 SHE IS THE LEADING WINNER THIS YEAR IN RACES, AND SHE'S RIDING IN THE BIG LEAGUES; HOPES ONE DAY TO WIN THE TRIPLE CROWN.
YES ROSIE IS RIDING IN THE KENTUCKY DERBY COMING UP.
SO KEEP THE NAME "ROSIE" IN YOUR MIND, SHE MAY VERY WELL STAY AT THE TOP OF THE PACK THIS WHOLE YEAR, AND JUST MIGHT INDEED WIN THE TRIPLE CROWN, IF NOT THIS YEAR, THEN A YEAR TO COME.
LOVED THE STORY ABOUT YOU ROSIE GIRL.
