We had an okay week at Ruby Buckle, but even on the tougher weeks there’s so much to be thankful for. Between the long haul and the temperature changes, and these 2 never seeing a standard pattern; my horses had a lot thrown at them, and as a jockey I know there are always things I can learn from and improve on too. That’s all part of competing at this level.
At the end of the day, we got the opportunity to run with some of the best in the country — and that in itself is something to be proud of. Every run teaches us something, every mile builds experience, and every challenge makes us stronger.
This week has been about letting the horses rest, fine-tuning a few things, and getting ourselves ready to come back sharper, stronger, and even more prepared for the next one. The best is still ahead.
Thank you to amazing owners who keep us forging ahead!
