The Final Race

The third leg of the Triple Crown is coming near. The Belmont Stakes will take place on June 9th! It's interesting to read up on the trainers such as Carl Nafzger and John Nerud. It was also interesting to read about how people are growing the toes out longer in order to get longer strides. The unfortunately part is that it puts an extremely amount of strain on the tendons.

Kentucky Derby Week!

With the Kentucky Derby week upon us I thought I would search online and see if I could find anything interesting about the races. I came across an interview with one of the more famous horse trainers today, Barclay Tagg. I wasn’t familiar with his name but after reading more about him I was pretty impressed with his training techniques. He uses compassion and understanding to get maximum performance out of his horses. It reminded me a lot of Tom Smith, Seabiscuit’s trainer.
