1-0- Freakin'-7 Beyer - A Golden Frontier Update

Golden Frontier in the paddock before the race with Jon Court up.

    
            The horse won another race.  Golden Frontier – the horse that was the subject of my first blog post – ran on May 24th at Churchill Downs in a six and a half furlong allowance race, and he won.  He won by over 11 lengths and stopped the clock in 1:15:68.  Friends and family of the owner were on hand for the win, and everyone had a great time at the track.    
            As chance would have it, Brereton Jones, the breeder of Golden Frontier, had another horse that he bred and still owned in the race.  As the horses left the paddock, I introduced myself and my friend to the former Governor and thanked him for breeding and selling Golden Frontier.  He was gracious and actually thanked us for proving that you did not have to spend a lot of money to buy and race a good horse.  He said they could not keep all the horses that they breed and were thrilled to see Golden’s success.  As we walked through the tunnel, I told the former governor that I sure hoped he was the breeder of the winning horse, but I knew we disagreed on which horse we wanted to see in the winner’s circle.
            Less than 76 seconds later, Brereton Jones had bred another winner.  Everyone waited to see how Golden would come out of the race and to see just how fast his race actually was.  As you can see from the post-race photo below, Golden cooled out just fine.

 What's Next
 
       My wife and I went to Asheville over the Memorial Day weekend where cell reception is spotty.  I noticed that I had missed a call from the person who was watching our cats and feared the worst.  When I was able to listen to the message, I learned that he was calling me to tell me that Golden had earned a 106 Beyer Speed Figure for his race.  (His race was later raised to a 107 Beyer and earned a 108 Brisnet figure.)  I am still in shock that a horse that I helped pick out is running stakes level speed figures.  His next race is tentatively the non-graded Kelley’s Landing at Churchill Downs at the end of June.  Then, maybe Saratoga and who knows?   One thing my friend does know -- he needs to get silks made if he is going to race in New York, so that is on the to do list.

  1. INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT OF WORK FROM HOME
    Work from home theory is fast gaining popularity because of the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them. Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.

    Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline.
