On Wednesday, August 19th, me, Bradyn and Houston flew to Albuquerque, New Mexico where Peyton and my mom picked us up and then we all drove to Ruidoso, New Mexico where my dad has been training horses. We went their to watch some horses that my parents train run in the All American Futurity and Derby trials. We have gone down the last 4 years during this time and we always look forward to this trip.
Thursday was the 20 Futurity trials. That's right, 20 trials and it makes for a long day. We were at the races for 8 1/2 hours that day and both of ours kids did great! All 4 horses did pretty well too. They ran 2 firsts and 2 thirds. One of their horses named Jess So Sixy one her trial and she qualified 9th fastest for the finals which will run on Labor Day. Another horse named Heart Of The Cartel one his trial and was the 2nd one out of the Juvenille but he still ran a nice race just drew a slow trial.
On Friday was the Derby trials and there was only 6 or 7 trials so this day wasn't as long. One of their horses named One Diamond Kitty ran a nice 2nd in his trial and ended up the 2nd fastest qualifier for the finals which will run on Sunday, the day before Labor Day.
On Saturday we went to the horse races again to watch a couple horses run. And at nights after the horse races in Ruidoso we would go to the New Mexico Bred Horse Sale. On Sunday we headed back to Albuquerque where my mom has been training horses to watch a couple of horses run. We spent the night there with my mom and brother and then flew back home on Monday afternoon.
Thanks mom and dad for having us down. We can't wait to fly back down this Friday for the finals!
