Trivia players, Sir Barton was the horse who broke his maiden and won the Kentucky Derby both in the same race. He won the Kentucky Derby in 1919 and was also the first two win the Derby, Preakness, and Belmont that year. This makes him the very first Triple Crown winner!

1000 "LIKES"....that means the Post Racing people will now look at setting up a Charity Horse Fan Club and I'm the first of their horses! I know they want at least five of us racing all over the UK and Ireland but I'll always be known as the first!

I am in a great mood following my run at Aintree, especially finishing so close to a horse that has run a very close 4th to Raya Star in a Class 1 handicap at Ascot in November.

It was a gorgeous day and David even brought his mum along to enjoy the racing. For a while it didn't look like they would get there because they were stuck in traffic but they were in the parade ring when Ron and the members called in to say hello.

The race went brilliantly. I was always where I wanted to be placed and Jim Culloty knew what he was about, too....but then, he is a legend. Off the final bend the field tracked across to the rail and I had a perfect pitch running just off the leader. I might be mistaken but I'm sure I took the lead with just over a furlong to go. Two were able to see the trip out just that bit better....had the rest of 'em well off me though!

I glanced to my right as we were coming up the home straight and all I could see was a million faces of the huge crowd. I am now getting used to racing in front of such numbers and I imagine a Wednesday at Wolverhampton will no longer have anything like as much appeal but, we have helped raise a fortune for two charities over the last month and that's what I am here for.

I will win more prize money for the charities supported by Post Racing and I hope that when the call comes, you sign up for the Charity Horse Fan Club because I know everyone is going to have a ball with us.

Do not look for short term gains/goals. Make your life useful by being productive, creative, inventive and innovative. Do something for the betterment of the society. Use 40-50 years of life prospectively and utilising 20 percent for improving self. Effort should be made to enhance one's own thought, life and how one can be beneficial to the society.

Keep your dream

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after class.’

“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Why did I receive an F?’

“The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’

“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ “Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.

He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”

Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.” When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.”

“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.”
